Default file or extention not recognised

last week we videoed my grandson at his xmas concert, using kodak easyshare
digital camera. when we loaded it onto pc,and took it into movie-maker,
windows says it doesnt recognise the .mov and suggested downloading quicktime.
I did that, and it plays,but still cannot get the 4 short vids to load into
moviemaker. I'd like to copy the film onto a dvd.
I tried renaming the film .avi , but it opened with winamp and wont play.
any help greatfully recieved please...

You have to actually convert the MOV files to WMV.....
