About formats

3G2 (3GPP2 file format) is a multimedia container developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 for use on CDMA2000 mobile networks. Built on the ISO base media file format (MPEG-4 Part 12), it stores video encoded with H.263 or MPEG-4 Visual alongside audio in AMR, EVRC, or AAC codecs. The specification was first published in December 2003 to provide a standardized way for CDMA-based phones and networks to handle multimedia messaging and video playback. 3G2 files are engineered for extremely low-bandwidth conditions, achieving playable video quality at bit rates as low as 30-60 kbps. This makes the format especially efficient for mobile video capture on devices with limited processing power and storage. The container supports multiple tracks, timed text for subtitles, and embedded metadata. One significant benefit is near-universal compatibility with CDMA handsets from the mid-2000s era, ensuring reliable playback across a wide range of mobile devices. Though newer formats like MP4 have superseded 3G2 for most purposes, it remains useful for working with legacy mobile content and for situations where minimal file size is the primary concern.
Initial release: December 2003
MAUD is an audio file format developed by MacroSystem for the Commodore Amiga platform, introduced in the early 1990s as part of their digital video and audio production tools. Built on the Amiga IFF (Interchange File Format) chunk architecture, MAUD files organize data into clearly delineated chunks — MHDR for the header, MDAT for sample data, and optional annotation chunks for metadata. The format supports mono and stereo layouts with bit depths of 8 or 16 bits and sample rates up to 48 kHz, which represented professional-grade specifications on Amiga hardware. Both signed linear PCM and A-law/mu-law encodings are available, offering a choice between fidelity and file size. MAUD saw primary use in the Amiga video production community, where MacroSystem Retina and VLab Motion boards demanded synchronized audio that the standard 8SVX format could not deliver. Conversion support exists today through SoX and libsndfile, ensuring vintage Amiga productions remain recoverable. Three distinct advantages stand out: clean IFF-based structure that any chunk-aware parser can navigate, 16-bit stereo capability ahead of typical Amiga audio, and lightweight overhead that left maximum CPU headroom for video rendering.
Initial release: 1992

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert 3G2 to MAUD?

Some professional or archival systems require MAUD format. Converting 3G2 to MAUD makes your audio usable in those dedicated platforms and tools.

What programs open MAUD files?

MAUD is supported by Amiga audio software and SoX for cross-platform playback.

Does converting 3G2 to MAUD lose quality?

Quality depends on the bitrate and codec settings you choose. Higher bitrates preserve more detail from the original 3G2 audio track.

Will the entire audio track be extracted?

All audio from the 3G2 source is captured in the MAUD output. The conversion preserves the full duration of the original soundtrack.

Is the conversion private and secure?

Your 3G2 uploads are processed securely and removed right after conversion. Output files are purged within 24 hours to protect your privacy.

How long does 3G2 to MAUD conversion take?

Our cloud servers handle the processing quickly. Typical 3G2 recordings convert to MAUD in under a minute, though larger files naturally take longer.
