I can reccomend Video LAN as a complete media player. Its not as pretty as the others however it will play anything. From MP3 to quicktime, div-x to DVD.

video lan is awesome - dont need to install any media player codecs etc with it as it plays pretty much anything!

Ive just downloaded VLC and now I can view videos off mobile phones that are 3GP. Before, I could only hear the sound with no video and now using VLC all I have is the video and no sound!!

Help!!

Use quicktime player to view 3gp files

 

[wolfracepunto]

Quicktime says cant play, error...

 

[H2DaE]
