Anyone? Can't seem to play them on my WMC or WMP...and they are annoying as always cos the help centre doesn't really help. I'm always unable to download the codec directly.
Thanks all...
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

Yes use quicktime

...but last time I tried, there was some kind of QT plugin needed to play 3gp. But then again, that was some time ago...

Sorry for wrong section...wasn't sure about codecs...lol Thanks for moving.

I ran into the same problem, probably because I installed one too many codecs.
I uninstalled all of the codecs and just installed FFDSHOW and QuickTimeAlt.
Still it wouldn't play the 3gp's.
I eventually tracked it down to an incorrect setting in the registry where it defined the wrong hex Filters for 3gp.
I went into Regedit and deleted the Key (and everything below):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Media Type\Extensions\.3gp
Then in Windows Explorer, I did an 'Open With' on the 3gp file and re-associated the 3gp with WMP. -

Indeed! It never succeeds...and that's why I sometimes have trouble finding the right codec for it hence the need for codec packs..
lol I understand what you mean...you can't have it all in one go...sometimes it's best to individually get the stuff...but then that's why windows is like a pack itself... with internet browsing, media player etc etc...it's always good to have a good pack. -
