Try downloading the latest version of Quicktime. It's free.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html

Open moviemaker from start menu\n\nGo\n\nfile>import into collections.\n\nA popup window will appear. Inside the window, navigate to where you have stored them. There's a list box in this window where caption says, " Files of type : " Click on the dropdown menu to select  " all files ( *.*) "\n\n------------\n\nAre you sure they are in right formats? Real and quick time formats are not compatible with moviemaker.

Windows Movie Maker can't (and won't) ever import QuickTime. The reason for this is that Windows Media files (wmv) are Microsoft's proprietary format, and QuickTime is Apples proprietary format.\n\nSo what you need to do is convert your QuickTime video into something that Windows Movie Maker can read. The best option is probably MPEG-4.\n\nNot surprisingly, the best way to convert QuickTime movies to MPEG-4 is QuickTime Pro (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/win.html)\n\nIt costs around $30, and lets you save QuickTime files into a number of formats, including MPEG-4. Save your QuickTime file into MPEG-4, then you can open the exported MPEG-4 file in Windows Movie Maker. Once in Windows Movie Maker, you can edit and tweak it all you like, and even save it in WMV format.

You use Microsoft Frontpage so it won't be too hard. Here is the link to a tutorial.\nIf you are looking for the actual code here it is. This works for quicktime movies. You can edit it for other types. I have included a website that has a good tutorial for this.\n\n<object width="000" height="000" \n  classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" \n  codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">\n  <param name="src" value="moviefile.mov">\n\n  <param name="controller" value="true">\n  <param name="autoplay" value="false">\n  <embed src="moviefile.mov" width="000" height="000"  \n    autoplay="false" controller="true" \n    pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">\n  </embed>\n</object>\n\nIf this helps please mark as best answer. :)

Get mediamonkey or find a converter at download.com... be careful though, you'll probably get a 30-day trial only.

It's not a hopeless venture.  I think all you need is the right media player to play the file.  I've listed some of the popular video formats below and a  selection of media players you can use.  Check the file extension on your video file and then download the appropriate player.\n\nFile format: .wmv\n\nMedia player:  \nWindows Media Player: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/misc/winmp_osx.xml&secid=80&ssid=8&flgnosysreq=True\nFlip4Mac (QuickTime plug-in): http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx\nMPlayer: \nhttp://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html\n------\n\nFile format: .avi, .mpg, .mpeg\n\nMedia player:\nVLC:  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ \n------\n\nFile format: .divx\n\nMedia player:\nDivX:  http://www.divx.com/\n------\n\nFile format: .mov\n\nMedia player:\nQuickTime:  http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/mac.html\n------\n\nFile format: .rm\n\nMedia player:\nRealPlayer:  http://www.real.com/international/

A common desire is to convert from the MOV format that you might associate with Quicktime to the AVI format, whereby you can then edit with more packages (for instance Movie Maker which ships with Windows XP).\nThere are no built in converter tools, but there are many you can freely use out there on the internet.\nThe simplest to use is called MOV2AVI - simply search for MOV2AVI.exe on the web and find the best place to download it. It's under 50Kb and runs from the command line: simply place in the same directory as the MOV, and from the command line type\nmov2avi filename\n... and that's it, the conversion works fine and is very quick indeed.

It is used to play .mov files which I think are Mac video files. They now have a quick time alternitive codec so you can play .mov videos in Windows media player and not have to download/ pay for quick time.

Okay, VCD is only .mpeg and .mpg files.  Here's what I used, before I got Nero: http://www.digital-digest.com/software/flaskmpeg.html & this one: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/pp_join.html \nFor WMV, you should be able to just use the Windows XP built-in video editing software.  And for Quicktime, you'll have to buy Quicktime Pro, as far as I know.
