Converter 3GP files

The Mobile 3GP converter is using "3GPtoRawAVI" converter to convert 3GP files
(3rd Generation Partnership Project, *.3gp) to uncompressed AVI files (*.avi)
in a user-friendly way. The 3GP video files must have audio in order to be converted.

The program offers two modes, one for single file conversion and a second for multiple files conversion for converting many 3GP files at once.
In a single file conversion you have the option to convert only the audio, only the video or both.

The 3GP file format is being used by the majority of modern mobile phones that have the ability to capture video.

Inside Windows Vista

"User Account Control (UAC) is an often misunderstood feature in Windows Vista. In my three-part TechNet Magazine series on Windows Vista kernel changes, available online at technetmagazine.com, I didn’t cover UAC because I felt that it merited its own article."

"In this article I discuss the problems UAC solves and describe the architecture and implementation of its component technologies. These technologies include the refactoring of operations that previously required administrative rights, lightweight virtualization to help programs run correctly without administrative rights, the ability for programs to explicitly request administrative rights, and isolation of administrative processes from non-administrative processes running on the same user desktop."
