Best Answer

The video from your Sony Handycam is very likely in .MOVformat which is not compatible with Windows Movie Maker.

You will need to convert the Handycam video to one of the following file name extensions (formats):

asf, .avi, dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv

Free video converters are available online. Simply Google: free video converters. Choose one - download and install it.

Once you have a converter installed on your computer, open the program. Locate the Sony Handycam video file on your computer and follow the conversion instructions making sure the 'output source format' is one of those listed above.
