Problem Importing Video from Disc or Computer files.

[chook]

I have hundreds of videos saved to cd-r. When I try to import them from the
disc an error message comes up saying...123.mov is not a supported file type
and cannot be imported to movie maker. These vidoes are played using
quicktime player. Does anyone know Is there anyway I can import them in?

=====================================
It would be best if you copy files
to your hard drive before importing
them into Movie Maker. Reason being...
Movie Maker does not include the source
files in the project file and needs to
maintain a link to the original location.

No version of WMM is compatible
with QuickTime .mov files. They
need to be converted to .wmv or .avi.

The full retail version of Apple
QuickTime Pro can convert the files
to a compatible format.
