How to transfer .mov files?

Hello,

My digital camera converts videos in .mov file and I normally use Windows
Movie maker for my films, editing.

When i try and import my .mov files it says the format is not supported by
Windows movie maker , anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks

==================================
As you have discovered .mov files
are not compatible with Movie Maker.

You'll have to download the files to your
hard drive and convert them to a supported
format.

(.asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe,
..mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv )

..avi would be a good choice.

Here's some info on converting:

In addition to what John has mentioned I use Video Cleaner to batch convert
MOV to WMV

My camera also saves files as .mov (Nikon). I downloaded WinMPG Video
Convert and found it easy to convert to avi.
