what is a 3gpp video?

I took a vidoe with my Droidx (motorola) but when I tried to replay it, it says file not recognized ....while on the phone itself! then I tried hooking it up to my Imac to view thru Quicktime...same thing... ie. "...could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."

how can I figure out what to use to watch this video? I can view other videos recorded on the phone so its not just the phone... it seems.

Sounds like a corrupt file, if the device that created it can't view the video

For additional format converters install Perian

Installs as a pref pane in System Prefs
Expands the formats that QuickTime can view
Free
Perian.org

Perian can't resolve a corrupt video file, but otherwise is very useful

Good Luck !
