Problem loading video files

[MelSmith]

I have just bought a new HD Handycam.
The videos I have captured on it are being sent to the computer as an AVCHD
format. I have converted them to mpg format (mpeg-2) and movie maker won't
allow me to import it. It says unspecified error.

Can anyone shed some light on this error message and help me out please?
