That's probably a good guess.
I do believe Papajohn had commented a few times that Movie Maker can handle
MOV files by simply changing the extension but that practice is one of those
things that doesn't "ALWAYS" work. Try converting them to AVI instead of
just renaming them to AVI and I will almost bet the problem is resolved.
