I have some old 3GP (mp4v codec)videos from my HTC desire S and when I try to drop them into Vegas they won't open so I decided to convert them to a format that would open. However when I convert to a standard mp4 template h.254 at a frame rate of 30, the video converts and plays back at twice the speed but the audio is original.

I cannot figure out the frame rate for the original video according to Gspot it is 16.393 and other videos its 9.901 etc

Here is the information from the container 3gp4: 3GPP Media (.3GP) Release 4

  • mp41: MP4 v1 [ISO 14496-1:ch13]
  • 3gp6: 3GPP Media (.3GP) Release 6 Basic Profile
  • Recommended Display Size: 800 x 480

How would I convert such videos to play back normally?

Usually there is information about the original framerate in the details tab of the properties of the video. What are you using to convert your videos? – Luke Fraser Jan 14 at 23:40
You say that if you convert it at a framerate of 30 fps it plays at twice the speed. Have you tried converting it with a framerata of 30/2 = 15 fps? And to make the question more complete: what software are you using for the conversion? – Bart Arondson Jan 15 at 11:26
Yes I tried to convert it 15 too, but it didn't work. The only converter I used was the free version of Any Video Converter – Aasim Azam Jan 15 at 11:28
Could you run MediaInfo on your footage and post it here? This will show all relevant information about your video. As I see it now it boils down to using AviSynth scripts. I'm looking into what exact script will help you, but you can of course take a look at the program yourself. – Bart Arondson Jan 15 at 11:41

Here's someone with the same problem who has a solution through with Avisynth. – Bart Arondson Jan 15 at 20:10
