How do I get a video from my mobile to play on Microsoft Media Player?
I want to be able to use a video I have taken from my mobile and play it on Windos Media Player but it is a different codec? Can someone help me as in "Codecs for Dummies!" I posted a similar question before but no-one was able to help me – as in I downloaded what they told me to do – but to no avail! I want to edit my movie in Wondows Movie Maker but because it is realtek or something it wont let me play it on Media.
Phone I am using is Sony Ericsson K600i – I need to play movie on windos media as want to use it in Movie Maker.
I need to point out – I CAN play movie uploaded from my phone on my computer – but I NEED to be able to play it in Windows Media – not Realtek or whatever format it plays in. I need to convert it to Windows Media – but I dont understand codecs or how to do this.
Here is a thread that discusses converting 3gp to AVI:

Please note – Movie Maker seems to have trouble with AVI, but you should be able to convert to something else with tmpgenc. I don’t think it’s free, but I seem to recall you can get a free version that leaves a watermark on the video. Have a look into it.
There don’t seem to be any free, easy to use 3GP to xxx converters, although there are plenty the other way.
Edit: Here is a link to software that can convert 3GP. There is a free trial available. I haven’t used it though so I can’t tell you if it’s any good.

Usually all the movies made by mobile phones are in .3gp format.
This .3gp movie is a movie encoded on many mobiles with the mpeg4 video codec.
You can see your mobile videos with Quicktime player.
To edit them you need a software that will edit the 3gp format. With the free Quicktime you can’t edit the movies, only with Quicktime pro I think.
