Answer 1

I have played successfully .3gp with iphone sdk and my code is :

NSString *soundLocalPath  = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Demo_video" ofType:@"3gp"];

NSURL *tempUrl   = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundLocalPath];

self.soundUrlPath = tempUrl;

MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: self.soundUrlPath];

self.mpMoviePlayer = player;

[player release];

[self.mpMoviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[self.mpMoviePlayer.view setFrame: self.view.bounds];  // player's frame must match parent's

[self.view addSubview: self.mpMoviePlayer.view];

[self.mpMoviePlayer play];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                           object:player];


-(void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) aNotification
{
    MPMoviePlayerController *player = [aNotification object];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
                                                    name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                                  object:player];

    [player autorelease];
}
