What is 3GPP file?
The 3GPP file extension is used to signify low-bitrate, multimedia files created using 3GPP technologies. It is considered a specialised form of the MP4 file type, and is typically used to store audio, video, graphics, and other data inside a single file container. 3GPP files may contain various multimedia content such as manipulated images, video text streams, and audio streams that have been compressed with one of the supported compression algorithms.

What is AVI file?
The AVI .AVI file extension stands for Audio Video Interleave, a multimedia container format, developed by Microsoft Corporation. This file format is one of the oldest multimedia formats used today. AVI files store audio and video streams in separate digital streams that can be processed independently. The video stream can be encoded using a variety of different codecs, such as DivX, XviD or Windows Media Video. [ ⏩ ] AVI file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from 3GPP to AVI?
To successfully convert the 3GPP file to AVI, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.3GPP). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case AVI (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than AVI).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 3GPP to AVI. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting 3GPP files to AVI files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension AVI, while before this step we had the 3GPP file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new AVI file, or not.
