What is best videoformat to use in windows movie maker?

Is it Avi?

Is it Avi?

====================================
I think you best choice would be WMV.

Many formats are reportedly compatible with
Movie Maker but the most reliable choices are:

Photos - bmp
Video - wmv or dv-avi
Music - wma, wav, wmv

Bear in mind there are many types of AVI files
and DV-AVI is one of those types.

The following utility can identify the various .avi
codecs:

GSpot Download

(left click the text: 'Download GSpot')
(on the next screen.....
left click: 'Download [ GSpot 2.70a ]')

The app identifys certain aspects of the video file.
