I've just tried to up load a short bit of footage taken from my phone into Windows movie maker so that I could chop out the boring bits (most of it!) and play around with it. But it turns out the real player code (if that's what its called) isn't compatible with movie maker programe. Any suggestions on what I should be using? And were I would find it?

What's the file format the phone's turned out? .3gp .avi .mov .mpeg? That will dictate what will work and open the footage.

Yeah it kinda is.  From memory, .3gp files open natively with Quicktime, so if you accidentally happen to fall over a copy of QT Pro somewhere that'll allow you to open the clip and I think save it as any other file source within reason, that you like. Been a while since I worked with .3gp files, and QT Pro, but it allowed me happily a while back to take a .mov file (QT movie) and just save it as alsorts, including a massive stream of jpegs. Windows Movie Maker likes .wmv files and .avi's and that's about it.

Actually, first try, just Google for .3gp to avi converters and see what comes up. I had to search for something to change AVCHD files to AVI's recently and there were a lot of free tools for this kinda thing.
