Answer 1

The odds are your camera has recorded the file in a *.mov file format in which case it will not function with Windows Movie Maker.

Whether this is the case or not, it seems that the file format is not supported by WMM.

I suggest a video converted to convert this to either *.mpg or *.wmv (windows media video) for best results. (WMM seems to have some glitches when it comes to editing *.mpg files and seems to work better *.wmv videos and crash less...)

Then try to import your converted video in WMM. (Ctrl+I).

Good Luck!

quicktime will only work with quicktime pro.
