What changes when you convert 3GP to WMV
The video stream has to be fully re-encoded: 3GP typically carries H.263, and WMV expects WMV9. That means a real transcode, so allow for processing time and a small generational quality cost.
Embedded subtitle tracks will be lost. 3GP can carry them inside the file; WMV has no place to store them, so export them separately first if you need them.
At 1080p, 3GP typically runs around 1.1 Mbps while WMV sits near 6 Mbps, which is the main driver of the size difference you will see.
This is an older container, introduced in 1999, and browsers will not play it directly. It is best suited to archival or a dedicated player.
