how do you play a 3GP file on a PC? (self.techsupport)
submitted 11 months ago by SlyFox28
My friend sent me a video from his iphone and it won't play on my Windows phone or on my W7 PC. Is there a certain player that I need to view the video?

VLC will play pretty much every format.

There really is no other good answer!

KM Player?
[–]AmazingRealist 3 points4 points5 points 11 months ago
I always use VLC as default. You should get a choice when you install your PC which player you want to use, like they did with browsers.

Until then, use Ninite to easily install basic programs for computers. It's the first thing I do when booting up a computer for the first time (unless it's an OEM computer, in which case PC Decrapifier comes before Ninite).

You should update drivers and get antivirus before then, just in case. That's my philosophy, anyway; to each their own.
[–]richalex2010 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
The AV install is part of Ninite, since I use MS Security Essentials. Drivers I don't really do in a particular order (other than graphics going first), and I tend to just install a bunch of things at the same time (so drivers might be installing at the same time as Ninite). Getting security running isn't too high of a priority, because any drivers and basic programs are from trusted sources; I'll absolutely have it installed before normal use, but it's not a big deal for me to be downloading drivers or VLC or whatever else without it.

Also, installing K-Lite codec pack will allow WMP to play it.
[–]GTFOScience 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
That and everything else...

Are you sure he sent a .3gp file from his iphone? I was under the assumption that everything was in .mp4 from an iphone?
[–]mudo2000 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
iTunes can handle it, as well as the other suggestions. To be fair, QuickTime is what handles it.
