3GPP2 Mobile Video Format 3GPP and 3GPP2 are new worldwide standards for the creation, delivery, and playback of multimedia over 3G mobile networks. Both 3GPP and 3GPP2 seek to provide uniform delivery of rich multimedia over 3G mobile networks to a new breed of multimedia-enabled wireless devices. Tailored to the unique requirements of mobile devices, 3GPP and 3GPP2 are based on MPEG-4, the standard for delivery of video and audio over the Internet.

Difference between 3GPP and 3GPP2
3GPP, defined by a group of telecommunications standards bodies called the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), was created for use on Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) networks, the most popular type of 3G network across the globe. 3GPP2 was defined by a different group of telecommunications bodies called 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) for use on the second most predominate type of 3G network, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 2000. The 3GPP and 3GPP2 formats are very similar, as both are based on the QuickTime file format and contain MPEG-4 and H.263 video, AAC and AMR audio, and 3G Text. 3GPP2 adds the option to use QCELP audio and Movie Fragments, a technology that allows multimedia content to be delivered incrementally over standard TCP wireless networks, providing a more immediate viewing experience for the end user.
