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

Your only option would be to convert
the .mov file to a compatible format.

Try the following free online converter:
(more info below)

Media-Convert

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:

Windows Media Video (.wmv)
or.....
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 !

Your file will appear to the right of a small green
arrow......left click the file name...the Save As
screen will appear...left click the Save button /
Choose a folder to save in (I always download
to my Desktop)...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.

More info:

QuickTime 7 Pro can convert the files.

From John Inzer post..........................

Are you saying you have .mov files? They
must be converted to a compatible format
before you can import them into Movie maker.

The full retail version of Apple QuickTime Pro
is probably the best route.

And here are a few more possibilities:
