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 Though newer formats like MP4 have superseded 3G2 for most purposes, it remains useful for working with legacy mobile content and for situations where minimal file size is the primary concern.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
TXW is the native audio sample format of the Yamaha TX16W, a rack-mounted digital sampler released by Yamaha in 1988. Each TXW file stores a single audio sample captured by the TX16W's 12-bit analog-to-digital converters, with selectable sampling rates of 16.7 kHz, 33.3 kHz, and 50 kHz in mono. The format was engineered to work within the sampler's architecture — 1.5 MB of onboard RAM expandable via memory cards — so files are compact and structured for quick loading from 3.5-inch floppy disks. Despite its 12-bit resolution, the TX16W earned a loyal following among electronic musicians who prized its distinctive warm, slightly gritty character that imparted a recognizable sonic texture to sampled material. The format preserves loop point data and tuning metadata, enabling seamless playback of sustain loops within the hardware. While TXW files are not directly playable in most modern software, conversion utilities and the SoX audio toolkit can transform them into contemporary formats like WAV or AIFF. For vintage synth enthusiasts and sample library curators, TXW remains an important archival format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert 3G2 to TXW?

TXW is used in particular professional or legacy systems. Moving 3G2 audio to TXW ensures compatibility with applications that depend on this format.

How can I open TXW files?

TXW opens in Yamaha TX-16W hardware sampler and SoX for modern file access.

Can I convert 3G2 to TXW on my phone?

The tool works on smartphones and tablets. Open convertio.tools in your mobile browser, upload the 3G2, choose TXW, and download when done.

Will the entire audio track be extracted?

Yes, the converter extracts the entire audio stream from start to finish. The TXW contains everything heard in the original 3G2 recording.

Can I batch convert multiple 3G2 files?

Yes — upload several 3G2 files at once and convert them all to TXW in a single session. Each file processes in parallel on our cloud infrastructure.

How long does 3G2 to TXW conversion take?

Conversion speed varies by file length and bitrate. Short 3G2 clips become TXW files in seconds, while longer recordings may take a few minutes.
