You need to make sure the video files you are trying to import/edit on Windows Movie Maker are compatible with the program.
The following video file name extensions (formats) compatible with the program are:
.asf, .avi, dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv
To see what file name extension (format) the video has, right-click the file and choose Properties from the drop-down menu. What extension is it?
If it is not an extension listed above, you will need to convert it to one of them before it can be used in Windows Movie Maker. Free video converters are available online. Simply Google: free video converters and download one.
