From what I found out It seems that format is for cell phones. It can be played by apple quick time.

from http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/3g2
Audio/video format developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2); designed for transmitting multimedia files over the Internet; basically an updated version of the .3GP format used by cell phones for saving video files.

You may want to convert to flv check this out

Thanks -
I had to use my Omina phone as my camera batteries were shot.
So I guess conversion first, edit second, embed player into html file.
This is going to take some time.

3gp/3g2 is a format usually used in your cell phones. But Web site always support FLV, AVI, MPEG formats, so you'd better convert your 3G2 to FLV, so you need a useful and good converting software to help you do that. I strongly recommended Moyea Video Converter, (for Mac User: please select Moyea Video Converter for Mac) it can help you convert between all kinds of videos such as: (*.avi,*.divx, *.wmv, *.wma, *.asf, *.dvr-ms, *.wav, dts in wav, *.rm, *.rmvb, *.ra, *.mov, *.qt, *.mp4, *.3gp, *.3g2, *.dv, *.m4b, *.m4v, *.m4a, *.aac, *.flv, *.f4v , *.m2v, *.tod (JVC), *.m2t, *.m2ts (Blu-ray), *.ts, *.tp, *.evo, *.mkv, *.dv with perfect quality in super high speed. At the same time, you will satified with its very good after-sale service and free life-time upgrade.

Thanks for that tid bit of info. Have use Moyea for some time long before the name change. I also like software from Jacek Pazera, he writes very tight code, the software he produces outputs to almost any constants needed. You can find him here Pazera-Software.pl .
Here is a great open-source player flv-player.net that takes up almost no over head and easy to customize into any enviroment.
