==================================================
As you have discovered, your .mov files are not compatible with Movie Maker.
To convert to a format compatible... the following freeware could be worth a try.
Pazera Free MOV to AVI Converter
http://www.Pazera-software.com/products/mov-to-AVI-Converter/
(click on the blue Download button not the Red)
The name of the file to download is:
'Pazera_Free_MOV_to_AVI_Converter.zip '.
After you download... Unzip and open the program...
(no installation required)
Drag and drop one or several .mov files...
Choose an output directory...
Select... WMV AVI - Video Codec - version 1 (WMP 7)...
Convert... (the button is on the top tool bar)
When the file is converted, you can change it in Windows
Movie Maker. Just open Movie Maker and go... File /.
Import into Collections and access your converted file.

Help! Says the file can't be flat, .mswmm file, but the program made the film.
I used the Windows to make a film, I scanned 458 pictures, done my book of stories, etc. with music - took a month... I "published" and now when I go to open it it says ' cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file? But the Director did, now I can't open it to all, it has an .mswmm file extension! Help, it's a gift for my dad who is going to be 70 and I have not yet a month to make it again!
Hi, I'm having a similar problem but have 1 idea as to why I can't open my .mswmm file. I have two xp machines running sp3, but a pro and a home edition if it matters.
the file.mswmm I am trying to open was created on the moviemaker version 2.1.4028.0 and it still works fine on this machine. On the xp pro machine, he is Director of windows 2.1.4026.0.
So I try to install the movie maker 28 to my other machine I have a lot of files created with the 28 I want to be able to change on the other computer.
=============================================
The project .mswmm file is best to use the system that created
because it takes all the source files... Video clips, Photos, music
files... always be available at the original location.Moving from one computer to another can work if you move as best
all of the source files. When you open the .mswmm file you will see
Xs red instead of thumbnails of the source but if you right click the red Xs
You should be able to navigate to the new location of the files sources and re-
establish the path.Volunteer - MS - MVP - Digital Media Experience J - Notice_This is not tech support_I'm volunteer - Solutions that work for me may not work for you - * proceed at your own risk *.
