Is there a way to use QuickTime videos onto Windows Movie-Maker?

Question

Ok, so I spent all day making a video with a whole bunch of clips, but when I uploaded them off my camera onto the computer they turned into QuickTime videos and I couldn't put them on Windows Movie Maker. Is there a free program I could download that won't get me viruses? Thank you a bunch.

Answer 1

Video formats supported by WMM are : .avi, .wmv, . asf, . mpg, . m1v, . mp2, . mp2v, . mpeg, . mpe, . mpv2, and .wm.

some video converters can help you, like wondershare video converter, which can convert popular format video to wmm video.

And there is a nice tutorial about how to edit video with WMM:

I think it would provide you with something helpful.

There are plenty of free programs you can use, but most of them do not allow you to adjust the video quality.  This will cause many of your videos to come out much worse than when you started.

For $30, you can get Quicktime Pro which will not only view your recordings, but it will also allow you to do very basic editing.  Quicktime Pro will also allow you to export your videos to AVI for use in Windows Movie Maker, and you will be able to adjust the quality settings to ensure your video is not ruined in the process.
