AI Thread Summary
Videos recorded in the .3G2 format can be challenging to play on computers without specific software like Apple's Quicktime. To share videos easily with friends and family who may not have Quicktime, converting .3G2 files to more common formats such as AVI or WMV is advisable. A recommended solution is to use the free VLC media player, which supports a wide range of formats, including .3G2, allowing for playback without conversion. There is no indication of a specific agreement between Apple and Motorola regarding the .3G2 format.

My wife and I have cell-phones that take really good video. Unfortunately, the videos are in the ".3G2" format, and when we try to download them to our computers, the computer can't play the video. It is my understanding that we could play them with Apple's QuicktimeTM, but I had that software before and I don't want to download it again. Besides, many of our friends and family members don't have QuicktimeTM, and we want to send video of our newborn to them.

Does anybody know of a way to convert .3g2 to .AVI, jpg, WMP, or some other form that the average media player can play? Also, is this some kind of agreement between Apple and Motorola?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
