Try a hollywood computer, they can do anything with just a progress bar and some icons. Seriously, How big is the video file, how long is the clip and in what format was it recorded on. Also, whats the phone it needs to fit in.

I use 'ImTOO 3GP Video Converter' to convert pretty much any video file to 3gp

I changed the 'same_quality' setting to True and the result was superb.
