I am sure I used real player (with an update) to view 3GP videos.

Quicktime plays them too.

(Cue somebody chiming in about how bloated and crap Quicktime is etc etc)

Brand new PC running XP Pro.

XP fully updated (including WMP11).

I installed:

Media Player Classic
FFDShow
Haali Media Splitter

So far, MPC has played everthing I've tried in it:

x264 MKV files
DivX
XVid
3GP

.... all perfect.

Not yet tried MOV or WMV.

Dunno which bit it was the got the 3GP files working (I didn't expect them to to be honest) but if you have all the above installed and up to date, it should work.

*** EDIT ***

Out of curiosity, I tried one of the 3GP files in WMP11. It played, but was black and white?!?!?

Perfect in MPC though, which is a tad less bloated than WMP11, so I think I'll stick with that!
