Does a curve 8310 support *.3gp and *.3g2 video formats?

I've tried loading a *.3g2, and get the unable to display file message.

Thanks in advance.

Good info, thank you! Must have missed that.

Well, that would explain the *.3g2 not working...now to give *.3gp a whirl.

Something I'd like to note is that I put a 10 minute flash clip converted to .3GP in 320x240 and it plays fine. I tried to put a pretty long movie converted from .AVI to .3GP and it won't play it.

Both were converted with exactly the same settings, is there a file size or length limit?

I'm on an 8320 and I get a mixed bag when it comes to playing .3GP stuff, some playsn some doesn't. I'm watching a 96min movie@the moment and its totally fine. Tried to check out the link Sunkast made but it comes up blank on my BB, is it a video or something? Haven't got access to a computer@the moment so can't check myself.
What's the best video converter to use? Not too expensive as I'm pretty skint@the moment.
Cheers, Bx
