Codec problem in playing .3gp file using GOM Player

Hi,
You can download/ install Media Player Classic
Download the latest version of Media Player Classic (K-Lite Codec) FOR FREE
It is a small but a very fine Media Player which also installs all the required CODEC and you can play all audio - video files.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

You need to have a GOM player installed in your computer to play files with ".gom" extension.

Please get the GOM player for free via the link below :

Open/extract the file after downloading and follow the installation prompts until it's complete. I recommend to restart your PC after the installation process.

Enjoy and Thanks for using FixYa.

GOM Player includes many codecs (XviD, DivX, FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, H263) Along with different media format such as AVI, MPG, MPEG and DAT, GOM Player also supports streaming Windows media format (WMV, ASF, ASX).

Possible Reason:

* Ensure that you have downloaded a genuine version and not a broken file, which is likely to miss some codecs, GOM is a FREE media player with popular audio & video codecs built-in. So you won't need to install separate codecs for most videos. For those videos that require a separate codec, GOM Player will find one.

* Without the appropriate codec, you'll be prohibited from playing AV files/the codec for which the file you are playing is missing (playback error), which prompts you to "Find Codec" screen. In the case you need other codecs, the 'Find Codec' popup will assist you in searching for the correct codec to play your file. If you didn't find any: first reason is likely to be the issue.



Fixes:

*Search Result will be shown on a new internet page. Once youve found it, simply download and install to watch the AV files.

its not only gom player, every player asks for codec for running verious files weth different extentions which it is unable to run.
I suggest you to get a new version of the player or try vlc updated version.
try downloading new codec packs for your system.

You can't add codecs to GOM Player - they are enbedded.
Use instead VLC, this player truly supports pretty much everything.

check the video file extn. try to download the codec or go to this link and download GOM PLAYER
http://download.cnet.com/GOM-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10551786.html

it plays almost all the video file extn.

Your GOM player might not be updated, or it simply doesn't support the format of the video that your playing. GOM playeer usually supports .3gp .mp4, etc ( usualy formats from cellphones ). Try downloading the FLV player, it usually supports alot of video formats.

If you insist on using the GOM Player, you have to install the codec from http://www.free-codecs.com/index.htm,

Suggestion,
Install the "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack" or "K-Lite Codec Pack" to your PC/Laptop.

Alternatively you can install Free media players like VLC Media Player Or MPCStar Player which will play most of the Audio/video formats.

Windows media player will not play a 3gp file because it does not have the proper codec to play that file, and microsoft has not made a codec for their media player to play any 3gp files.

Realplayer SP will play your 3gp files and it is a free program. If you would like to try it out you can download it from Cnet here,

there is not a special way for it, you can drag & drop the selected video. But some video file types not work in GOM player, if do you want to play it then update the player with new Codec files
