I have been searching for 3 days trying to find an answer to this issue. ANy video I shoot with my phone I can not watch on my PC. What I have read is that you can watch 3GPP2 video through Quicktime. That is false in my case. The video will play and you will hear sound but the actual video is squiggly with green and red lines across it. I have not found any codecs for Quicktime or Windows MP and I really don't want to have to buy another video converter. Why can't all this crap get standardized so we don't need 25 different players and 15 different converters!!!

Thanks for the help guys but I'm still at square one. The codec that "Blazingwolf" sent allowed the video to play through WMP but no audio. The Program Videolan that "Contagous" recommended, allowed me to watch the video but would not allow audio. It even had a popup that said there is no know codec that will allow it to work. Thanks again guys, I was hoping to get some video on to my PC so that I can see it on a larger screen.

I installed a software called MP4 player and it added its codecs to WMP, u can play videos with sound on either player...
