============================================
Movie Maker is not compatible with QuickTime .mov files.

Here's some info on converting QuickTime .mov files:

QuickTime 7 Pro can convert the files.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/
(this would be the retail version not the
free one)

SUPER © Simplified
Universal Player Encoder & Renderer
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/SUPER_1
(the mirror download site is faster)

Convert .mov using TMPGEnc
and the TMPGEnc Mov Plugin

Free online converter:
MediaConvert
http://media-convert.com/

Using MediaConvert site:

In the File field...browse to and select
the .mp3 you wish to convert.

In the Output format field...select ...
WAVE form audio format (.wav)

Click the OK button.

Wait for the conversion to complete.

If you see a "Conversion Option" screen
that shows...Encoding, Sample Rate,
Channels...etc....just click the 'OK' button.

When you see the Download button
with the Green arrow...left click it...
choose...Save...

On the Save As screen...choose a
save location (Desktop would be a
good choice)

Click the Save button.

Good luck

==============================
There were better options in the list I posted
for you but anyway...I'm sorry...the instructions
I posted were for converting an .mp3 to .wav
file which is audio...

Try the following:

Apple Quicktime conversion instructions

1) In the "File" field...click the "Browse"
button and navigate to the .mov file you
wish to convert. When you select the
file...the path will appear in the 'File' field.

2) The "Input format" field should automatically
show..."Apple Quicktime (.mov)" leave it
as is...

3) "Output" format has two drop windows...
the field on the left will display, "No video
preset"...leave it as is...

4) In the next drop window to the right
you can choose the format you wish to
convert to...try:

Audio Video Interleave (.avi)

5) Left click the blue *OK* button.

Now...wait for the file to be converted.
(be patient)

When the conversion is complete you will see:

File successfull converted !

Left click the Download button...the Save As
screen will appear...left click the Save button /
Choose a folder to save in...left click the Save
button. When the file is downloaded you should
be able to play it with Windows Media Player
and it should be compatible with Movie maker.

That's it! Good luck.
