Default 3gp files make me go grrrrr

In the codec war the 3gp format is weak, I don't live in Europe but the fact that I have to use a different specfic player to watch them sucks. The fact that with that odd ball media player I have to use can't jump through most of the videos for whatever reason (be it the index or whatever the problem) sucks. In addition, from my experience the files do not play in Real and I rarely incounter a video that I can't convert into a more friendly format; 3gp files are just a pain in the arse to convert and the vids are about as low quality, in terms of picture quality, as video can come. This is not to say that I hate them, because the content usually rocks, but, in my opinion, they are pain to deal with just like .rm files and I like knowing that the file is either or because I have to unzip it.
