You have to convert the VHS to DV format before it can be imported into Windows Movie Maker. You can't import it directly from the VCR input source because it is in the wrong format.
I use a VHS to DVD program (that I purchased) to convert VHS format. But, I believe there are some free downloadable programs out there that offer it too. Try googling: VHS to DVD and see what you come up with. Unless you are going to go out and buy software to convert it, that's your best bet.
