How 3G2 turns into FLAC: audio-stream extraction
Converter.now selects the audio stream in 3G2, leaves the picture stream out, and encodes that sound as FLAC. The result is audio, not a silent copy of the video. The 3G2 demultiplexer reads a CDMA-era 3GPP2 track layout and identifies its constrained mobile video, audio, rotation, timing, and metadata profile. FLAC output losslessly codes decoded samples and supports rich comments, yet it cannot reconstruct fidelity already removed by a lossy source codec.
Decoded media - A 3GPP2 mobile-media container designed for CDMA-era phone video and audio. Encoded delivery profile - Losslessly compressed audio that preserves decoded samples and supports rich tags.

3G2 source facts versus FLAC output requirements
What can fail when 3G2 video container is interpreted
Its codec and metadata expectations are narrower than modern MP4, and current players may not recognize the extension.
What Free Lossless Audio Codec cannot safely promise
FLAC does not make a lossy source lossless again, and some basic players reject less common sample rates or channel layouts.
How the FLAC writer handles this route
The verified FLAC profile uses lossless compression level 8; it preserves decoded samples rather than source codec data.
How to confirm the converted FLAC actually works
Record the 3G2 evidence before conversion
Inspect video and audio codecs, dimensions, frame rate, rotation, duration, sync, and playback on the required device.
Test the FLAC file in its receiving workflow
Compare duration, sample rate, channels, peak levels, and tags with the decoded source.
Deciding when 3G2 to FLAC is the right conversion
Take this route when only dialogue, music, or a soundtrack needs to reach a FLAC-accepting system; hold onto 3G2 whenever its pictures, captions, or visual timing still matter.
What changes between the 3G2 model and the FLAC deliverable
- The source stores a 3GPP2 mobile-media container designed for CDMA-era phone video and audio; the destination stores losslessly compressed audio that preserves decoded samples and supports rich tags. Compare application metadata after that structural change.
- 3G2 and FLAC use different metadata conventions, so application-specific fields should be treated as optional until verified.
