    Hey guys,

    Not sure if this is the right place but long story short -

    I'd been using and old Nokia N91 up until a few years ago when I switched to Android. I went back to my old Nokia to get all the photos and videos I'd on it to put them onto my Macbook but somehow deleted them. I downloaded a picture/video recoverer on my Mac and managed to recover the pictures and the videos. However, the videos won't play on any software that I have. They're in the format .3gp and even players that say they support that format won't play them. Any ideas or is it a lost cause?

    Cheers.

    I can't google it because i'm in work, but I remember I used a video software called "gspot" (yeah, i know, its a bit weird) that would check your video file for issues and report the different codecs used. It could even do some repairing, if I remember correctly.

    Try looking for something for that or something similar.

    VLC should play 3gp no probs. It's possible the videos might be corrupt?

    Yeah, I fear they are corrupt. Shame.
