I have a digital camera that I take small videos on. When I try to import
them into my "movies" it says it cannot be imported to WMM. Is there
something I need to download to make it compatible?

==========================
Are they in the QuickTime .mov format?
If they are...you'll have to convert them to
a compatible format.

The retail version of QuickTime Pro will
convert the files.

And...the following article discusses one
possible way to convert .mov files to a
usable format .

In addition to what John stated, many digital camera create
MPEG or MPG files. WMM also doesn't like them. You may
have to convert them to an AVI format to put them into WMM.

For converting short video clips from quicktime when you don't want to pay
for a program a trial will probably work for you. I use
http://www.imtoo.com/mov-converter.html
which will convert the 1st 5 minutes of each video clip. Haven't tried any
others yet.
