What is the difference between 3GP and 3G2?

3GP files use the H.263 or H.264 video codec, while 3G2 files use the H.263p video codec. H.263p is a more efficient video codec than H.263 and H.264, which means that 3G2 files can be smaller in size without sacrificing image quality.

Another difference between 3GP and 3G2 is that 3G2 files do not support multiple audio tracks. 3GP files can contain multiple audio tracks, such as one track for the primary language and another track for a secondary language. However, 3G2 files can only contain one audio track.
