What is 3GP?
3GP is the standard used today on the 3G mobile phones. It is distinguished in two different standards; the 3GPP, which is used on GSM-based phones and have the file extension, .3gp. There is also the 3GPP2, which is for CDMA-based phones, and have the file extension .3g2. These two standards are MPEG-4 and H.263 based while having an AAC and an AMR audio.
What is MPEG?
MPEG-1: This first set of standards was developed for audio and video compression. MPEG-1 Layer 3 is a codec within these standards, known simply as MP3, or the popular audio compression format for music. The video format of MPEG-1 was used to store movies on CDs, known as Video CD, or VCD. Quality is equal to that of a VHS tape, and compatibility playback on CD/DVD players is high.
MPEG-2: This standard improved on MPEG-1 by including the ability to encode interlaced pictures. It is widely used for digital cable, satellite and over the air digital signals. This format is also prevalent for movies distributed on DVD. Television receivers, DVD players and television stations typically incorporate the MPEG-2 standard
MPEG-4: Borrowing from MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, the MPEG-4 standard extends functionality of audio/video compression by improving format flexibility. MPEG-4 can be used for broadcast television, online streaming media, applications such as videophone, and distribution on digital media.
