What Mac program will open Droid videos?

[CharlesLewis]

I have several videos I've taken on my Droid X with a 3gp suffix. I have similar videos taken with my camera, and they open fine on my MacBook, but when I try to open the Droid videos, I get an error: "The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."

Any Mac users out there who can suggest how to view these on the computer?

Thanks!

Is there no VLC player for Mac? Just get that and never worry anymore. That player plays ANYTHING.

VLC
VideoLAN - VLC: Official site - Free multimedia solutions for all OS!

After downloading VLC and getting the same results, I re-examined the two videos and realized that they were showing zero bytes, so obviously I had two corrupted videos or perhaps two that I started and stopped right away.

At least I have a backup program on the computer now!

Thanks.

In general, you also want this codec package on any Mac, it's free -
