You can import digital media from a camera into Windows Movie Maker, but only if it is in a compatible format for the program:

Video formats for Windows Movie Maker:

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

Camera video is usually in .MOV format (or other file name extension) which is not compatible with Windows Movie Maker. If your camera media is not one of the formats listed above, then you will need to convert the file before it can be imported/edited in Windows Movie Maker.

Free video converters are available online. Simply Google: free video converters and download one.

Then open the converter program. Locate and Add the camera file to the conversion list. Select your 'Output Source' format (one of those listed) and choose an Output Path (destination to save the new converted file in). Click Convert.

If the conversion is successful, you will be able to import and edit the media in Windows Movie Maker.

Insignia NS-DV720P hd camera and when you try to import videos from files from your camera is says you need to download codec for windows movie maker?

The camera files use a different file name extension (format) than Windows Movie Maker does. In other words, the camera's files are not compatible with the program. You can either download the K-Lite Standard Codec Package (Google it). Perhaps the codec package contains the one you need to read the camera file. If that doesn't work, download a free video converter from online and convert the camera file to one compatible with Windows Movie Maker.
