Look up Windows Movie maker www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx

or Avid Free DV
www.avid.com/freedv/

Depending on your level of knowledege Avid is a very steep learning curve and may end up giving you some grief. Window MMaker is somewhat easier to use the only problem being it is a windows program!

Supported file types

You can add content to your Windows Movie Maker project either by capturing content directly in Windows Movie Maker or by importing existing digital media files. The content you capture in Windows Movie Maker is saved in Windows Media Format. However, you can also import existing Windows Media-based content as well as other common file formats.

You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:

• Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma
• Picture files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, and .wmf
• Video files: .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

So what video editor is needed for mov format or is there a freeware converter to wmv etc

MOV files are Quicktime (Apple) which you can download free for Windows. Just go to the apple software site.

PS: Sorry Al. Didn't read your question properly. I don't know of any free software that will allow .mov editing.
Cheers
