3GP Files

I have filmed something in a pub so that I record the song for identifying at a later date.

The film plays fine on my phone - but nothing appears to play it on my computer.

A quick Wiki reveals that MediaPlayerClassic, VLC, Real Player and Quicktime should all play it. I have tried with the first three, but nothing appears to play it.

I get this error message :

"The file appears to not contain a video track"

And this one with MediaPlayerClassic :

"The following pins failed to find a connectable filter :

MP4 splitter low merit::video handler (jpn)
MP4 splitter low merit::sound handler (jpn)"

Can anybody help?

media player classic + quicktime alternative work fine for me.

edit: slower than a slow thing.

Sorry my bad, I should have mentioned - I don't have Quicktime installed - I only have QT.

Actually I can't find QT Lite's player - where is it? :confused:

RealPlayer Lite has a little alternative, but QT doesn't..

Edit - there's a Quicktime Lite and Quicktime Alternative?
