Playing a 3gp file with HTML5 does not work. I have Firefox 16 and Chromium Version 22 and the result I got is the following:

No video with supported format and MIME type found.

Here's the code I used:

<video controls="controls">
<source src="rtsp://v2.cache2.c.youtube.com/CiQLENy73wIaGwlkcZfgin6szRMYDSANFEgGUghzdGFuZGFyZAw=/0/0/0/video.3gp" type="video/3gpp">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

  • As far as I know the 3GP plays in HTML5 player in Safari only due to the codecs used, so I would recommend to resing from using 3GP and have a file converter in order to make sure your video is playable – jacek_podwysocki Nov 04 '12 at 15:54
  • I see. How can I convert videos with PHP code? 3gp => mp4 – Mayk Nov 04 '12 at 16:19
  • This script would do: http://www.technoslab.in/2011/05/php-video-conversion-script.html – jacek_podwysocki Nov 04 '12 at 16:37

    Just so people are aware, at least currently, doing this sort of thing actually seems to violate YouTubes terms of service https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms, in part II, point 10. it's stated that it is prohibited to "access any portion of any YouTube audiovisual content by any means other than use of a YouTube player or other video player expressly authorized by YouTube;" – Ola Karlsson Jun 20 '13 at 14:48
  • It may be that Apache is not sending out the right heads for `3gp` files. Have you checked? – karancan Oct 12 '13 at 02:26
