First, check the file name extension (format) of the camera video by right-clicking on it and choosing Properties from the drop-down menu. If it says MOV or any extension other than those listed below, the file will need conversion.
Video formats compatible with Windows Movie Maker:

To change the camera video into a format compatible with Windows Movie Maker, you will have to download and install a Video Converter. Converters are available for free online. Simply Google: free video converters. Download and install one.
Follow the conversion program instructions ensuring your 'Output Source Format' is one of those listed above. And too, choose your Output Path (destination to save the newly converted file).
If the conversion is successful, you will be able to import and edit the camera video in Windows Movie Maker.
