Don't even try that... It's not necessary. Let me tell you what the problem is in relation to the message you are receiving when attempting to import a MOV file into Windows Movie Maker: MOV file name extensions (formats) are not compatible with the Windows Movie Maker program. Only the following video formats will work in Windows Movie Maker: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv You are going to have to convert the video to one of the file name extensions (formats) listed above. Free video converters are available online. Simply Google: free video converters. Choose one... download and install it. For the sake of convienience, visit this site for direct download links for video converters:*%20Video%20Converters%20%28Download%20Links%29. Once you have a video converter installed, open the program. Locate and add the MOV video file to the conversion list. Follow the conversion instructions ensuring the 'Output Source' format is one of the file name extensions (formats) compatible with Movie Maker. And too, be sure to choose your Output Path (saving destination) as well. If the conversion is successful, you will be able to import/edit the video in the Windows Movie Maker program. :) You do not need to download any codecs (or codec packages).
