How do I play 3GP files?

How do I play 3GP files on my PC? Which is the best program? I've downloaded RealOne but It doesn't seem to recognize the file format.

Do a search - there are hundreds of posts about this all over this forum.. 😉

Or - Go to nokia's support site and download the PC player.

Best 😊

Once you have transferred the .3gp file to your PC simply rename it as a .mp4 file.

Other users did this and it worked fine.

Strange works fine for me. I use windows 98SE

Then you have downloaded the wrong thing my friend.

This is what you should be downloading
Nokia_3650_Multimediaplayer_en2.exe (EXE -file, 7678.0 KB)
http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,5184,5371,00.html

And it will play .3gp's without you renaming them - renaming them will not make them .mp4 either.
Thay are already technically mp4's but they have differnet headers on them.
