I had an outside shop transfer old home movies from VHS to CD (or DVD-not
sure which) and am now trying to import or copy this to my Movie Maker 2 so I
can edit out some scenes. It seems the CD has a file extension of RM. How
do I do this process? All my computer does is to play the movie which I
don't want. All I want is to get it transferred to the computer itself. It
seems the instructions are for from a camera which is not the issue here.
 
Try my computer,R.click the dvdrom,open,L.click the file,select copy,copy to
my documents or similiar,have M.M. search for the file to add.
 
Thanks. Unfortunately it did not work. I got an error message saying the
file type was not supported and therefore cannot be imported into Windows
Movie Maker. The file type is .dat.

How can I convert this into a supportable file type such as AVI, etc.? Cost
is no object.
