3GPP multimedia
. Ringtone files with .3gp file name extensions are usually present on Windows Mobile devices. You can download DirectShow on Internet filters that allow you to play the ringtone file in the drive. Remember, however, that some filters can introduce instability with your computer or programs in general. Ensure that the filters are a reliable supplier of software before downloading.

You can also download a third-party media players who will play this type of file, but again, be very careful to download anything that's out of the Internet and download sources and reliable companies.

Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Thank you

    I use original Windows7 family Basic. My help also Win7 hb. My windows media player is not playing the videos 3GP but Win my friend ' media player playing the same video. What is the problem with my WM player? It is to this day...

    Hello


    Videos in 3gp format cannot be played directly on Windows Media Player.
     
    You will need a codec to play the video file. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use the codec to play and create digital media files.
     
    Method 1:
     
    You can check the link to see the guidelines on the issue.

    Method 2:
     
    You can use the link and check if you get the necessary codec to download based on the file type, you are trying to read.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Method 3:
     
    You can also use your favorite search engine to download and install a codec based on the file type, you must use.

  • Help - WMP 12 suddenly can't play .3gp

    I use WMP 12 (Windows 7 Professional - 64). Until last week, that I have read video files (.3GP) captured with my Blackberry Bold 9000 on WMP 12 without problem. Now all of a sudden the WMP can read the file, but all I get is not audio and video. What is happening on the old and the new video of BlackBerry...  No idea as to why this is happening? or how to fix it? I tried using VLC and it makes the same video game without audio and gives me the following error:

    No suitable decoder module:
    VLC does not support the audio or video format "zizou." Unfortunately there is no way for you to solve this problem.

    the file is not software, as far as I know? Any help is appreciated.

  • How can open 3GP video, I remove Open or save for a device browser dialog box?

    How can I design the following?

    A user clicks on a link video 3GP appearing open using the browser on the device:

    private void launchBrowser(int browserType, String url) {
      BrowserSession browserSession = createBrowserSession(browserType);
      browserSession.displayPage(url);
      browserSession.showBrowser();

    If the user selects open, the 3GP file plays without problem.
