How to Convert 3gp/flv Videos to other Formats

Nowadays the cameras bundled with mobile phones are improving day by day and we already have 5MP cams. Most of the handsets captures videos as 3GP formats and also when we want to play other videos in mobile phones, it becomes difficult as it accepts only 3GP or MP4 formats (although some of the models also accept mpeg formats). Now the question is how to convert 3GP to other formats and vice versa.There are lot of converters available for this, but most of them are not freewares and many of them lose the clarity while converting.
