i've opened the file in linux "mplayer" and these are ones of the lines i've got: [mkv] track id 1: video (v_mpeg4/iso/avc), -vid 0 [mkv] track id 2: audio (a_ac3), -aid 0, -alang eng [mkv] will play video track 1. matroska file format detected. video: [avc1] 1280x720 24bpp 23.976 fps 0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s) so... it's an mkv. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3gp_and_3g2  from wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 3gp (3gpp file format) is a multimedia container format defined by the third generation partnership project (3gpp) for 3g umts multimedia services. it is used on 3g mobile phones but can also be played on some 2g and 4g phones. 3g2 (3gpp2 file format) is a multimedia container format defined by the 3gpp2 for 3g cdma2000 multimedia services. it is very similar to the 3gp file format, but has some extensions and limitations in comparison to 3gp. 3gp the 3gp file format stores video streams as mpeg-4 part 2 or h.263 or mpeg-4 part 10 (avc/h.264), and audio streams as amr-nb, amr-wb, amr-wb+, aac-lc, he-aac v1 or enhanced aacplus (he-aac v2). 3gpp allowed use of amr and h.263 codecs in the iso base media file format (mpeg-4 part 12), because 3gpp specified the usage of the sample entry and template fields in the iso base media file format as well as defining new boxes to which codecs refer. these extensions were registered by the registration authority for code-points in iso base media file format ("mp4 family" files).[11] [12] for the storage of mpeg-4 media specific information in 3gp files, the 3gp specification refers to mp4 and the avc file format, which are also based on the iso base media file format. the mp4 and the avc file format specifications described usage of mpeg-4 content in the iso base media file format.[8] a 3gp file is always big-endian, storing and transferring the most significant bytes first. - more at the above link - |

ok for anyone still stressing over this 3gp "joke" here's what you do. look at the file and if the file name has .3gp after it simply delete it and replace with .mp4 if the .3gp file extension is not showing at the end of the file name click organise - folder and search options - view - now untick hide file extensions for known file types - click ok. you can now delete and replace the extension. your media player will tell you somewhere in the options what codec the file is using, mpc and vlc certainly do and all these .3gp files i have checked so far have been mp4. |

i changed it to a mkv file format, seemed to do the trick, also the shitty thing about thhis is that when you change the file format you in fact change the file name so it is no longer found, therefore it won't seed, |

+1 to dram if it werent for you lil crybabies in here i would have never even known about this. maybe if you spent more time updating your vlc players and less time crying like a bunch of lil bitches you wouldnt have been punk'd. decent episode. was expecting more cowbell though. |
