Convert 3GP videos to FLV format online for compatibility, delivery, and playback across devices and platforms.

RubyREST API3GP → FLV

Use this guide to convert 3GP to FLV with Ruby, then adapt the example to your own app, backend, or processing flow.

Overview

What this guide covers

Conversion path

Use Converterer to accept or prepare a 3GP file, trigger a 3GP to FLV job, and return the output to your app or workflow.

Ruby example

Start with the example on this page, then adapt auth, file handling, polling, and result delivery to your environment.

Production usage

This is best suited to backend jobs, async processing, content pipelines, and repeatable conversion flows rather than one-off browser scripting.

req.set_form(
  [
    ['input', File.open('input.3gp')],
    ['output_format', 'flv']
  ],
  'multipart/form-data'
)

res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http|
