How to import MPEG-4 files in Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista?

Windows Media Player 11 recognizes and plays MPEG-4 great but WMM does not recognize them.  I would like to import some MPEG-4 files in Movie Maker and work with them - is there a codec or something that allows this?

I'm sure I can find a software to convert to MP4 format that mm will recognize, but if possible, I would just skip the conversion step and work with MP4 directly in MM.

Thank you!

====================================================
Movie Maker is not compatible with MP4 files...
the best would be to convert it to .wmv.

The following preferential ticket may be worth a try:

Format Factory

All to MP4 / 3GP / MPG / AVI / WMV / FLV / SWF.
All to MP3 / WMA / AMR / OGG / AAC / WAV.
All to JPG / BMP / PNG / TIF / ICO / GIF / TGA.

    Watch the video file. The last 3 letters represent the file format.

    Windows Movie maker only supports the following video file formats:

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

    If yours is not on the above list, Movie Maker will have probel play.

    In this case, you will have to google for a free video converter and change the format of your video file to WMV. WMV format is the most reliable format for Windows. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.
