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.....
