Color On Saved Videos

[Guest]

I have a digital camera that saves videos as .mov's. I use Quicktime 7 Pro
to convert the .mov's to .avi's so that I can import them into Windows Movie
Maker Maker and edit them. While in WMM, the video displays just fine, but
when I save the final product as a .wmv, the video has a colored tint that
flashes back and forth between red and green. In addition to this, videos
that did not come from the digital camera suffer from severe color distortion
when saved as .wmv's. For example, bright red shows up as green when played
outside of WMM. I can take the distorted videos and import them back into
WMM, and on the preview screen in WMM they will play perfectly with no
distortions. I tried saving the videos under different qualities, but the
only quality that seemed to save without any distortion was DV-AVI (NTSC). I
would just accept this as a solution, but the resulting file size is rather
large (120mb for a 30 second clip) and I wish to save files to a much smaller
size without the distortions. Is there anything I can do to fix my problem
(codecs, etc), or am I stuck with having to deal with the large file size?
Any assistance with this matter would be much appreciated.

Disregard my previous post. After playing around with it for a while, I
realized that the color distortions only occur in the video that is played
when you check "Play movie when I click finish." When I open it up normally,
the colors are correct.
