'''3GP''' (3GPP file format) is a [[Digital data|digital]] [[multimedia]] [[Container format (digital)|container format]] defined by the [[3GPP|Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)]] for [[3G]] [[UMTS]] multimedia services, largely based on [[MPEG-4 Part 12]]. A 3GP container may consist of [[H.263]] or [[H.264]] video codecs or [[Adaptive Multi-Rate audio codec|AMR]] or [[AAC-LC]] audio codecs.

'''3G2''' (3GPP2 file format) is a multimedia container format defined by the [[3GPP2]] for 3G [[CDMA2000]] multimedia services. It is very similar to the 3GP file format but consumes less space and bandwidth, and has some extensions and limitations in comparison to 3GP.
