It is worth mention that Foxreal Video Converter supports CUDA acceleration to help you convert video with 500% faster conversion. I help you find the download address, and I ensure you can easily solve your problem. Hope it can help you!

Handbrake(http://handbrake.fr/) is a good free one that can convert just about anything to MP4 and MKV. but it's difficult to use If you don't like it.I recommend this free MP4 converter(http://www.aneesoft.com/win-free-mp4-video-converter.html),easy to use.Good luck!

Try this : Format factory. It is free software for convert videos, songs, and pictures and more. it is very good http://www.formatoz.com/

Try this freemake video converter,its free,its fast,support lots of formats and have a beautiful and easy to understand interface.Just check the link below.

We try to get the format factory it's good and free, I use it alot.

Here are supportable formats for windows movie maker: Video files: .asf, .avi(special profile for windows movie maker), .wmv Movie files: .mpeg1, .mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2 Audio files: .wav, .snd, .au, .aif, .aifc, .aiff Windows Media files: .asf, .wm, .wma, .wmv Still images: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jfif, .gif MP3 format audio: .mp3 so, if you do not have the right format, try a converter to convert your video to .wmv which works well on windows movie maker. As far as I know, the video recorded by camera has high quality, and if you do not want to reduce the quality of your video, you should try a professional video converter, such as snowfox total video converter which could help you convert between various video / hd video formats. want to try, just google “snowfox total video converter” to find it. or see the link below: http://www.snowfoxsoft.com/video-converter.html And here is the step by step guide on how to import video into windows movie maker: http://www.snowfoxsoft.com/tutorial/how-to-import-video-into-windows-movie-maker.html Happy New Year

There are loads of these converters around, everyone has their own personal favorite, including me. Download a couple and see what works best for you. I do a lot of conversions and some others I've tried don't do a good job at all, but I've found that Erightsoft's Super Converter is good. Their website at http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html is annoying as you have to find the download link on three different pages before it starts the download but it's worth it in the end. The program allows you to import / export practically every multimedia format ever produced and control every aspect of the output and can extract just the video or audio from a video file. Some people have reported problems with this software, but I've been using it extensively and it hasn't let me down. Then again, some people don't seem to be able to open Notepad without something going wrong.

Yes ,it's true many free converters :) SUPER as mentioned from http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html is quite good but needs some understanding of bitrates etc .The reason why the author made it so hard to find the download link is to make you read through all the pages ,so as to understand what is does. But here are the direct links (to last page and download_ http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html http://www.erightsoft.info/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe at time of writing SUPER©.v2010.build.42(Nov.7,2010) As to Format Factory -also mentioned before - be aware that it installs a toolbar. Otherwise a good converter. Just uninstall toolbar if not wanted. QuickMediaConverter http://www.cocoonsoftware.com/ is a bit simpler to use. (Used to have donation nag ,not sure it still does ,but no trouble ,just ignore) Since you need to convert to WMV format for WinMoviemaker, you could also try this one http://www.wmvconverter.org/ (also portable version) presently v3.2 DL Links http://www.wmvconverter.org/download/wmvconverter_setup.exe http://www.wmvconverter.org/download/wmvconverter_portable.exe I have several more links incl the ones mentioned in other posts ,but this should do you for now :) PS -Be aware that not every converter will convert to WMV format that Windows Movie Maker will accept.IOW, while the converted file will be .WMV ,it may not play or be joinable with other .WMV files.The reason is the the beginning or header may not be exactly what Windows MovieMaker requires.So you may have to experiment with the files and possibly different converters as well. IOW, there is no absolute guarantee that every converted file will be accepted by WMM. I know it's more than you wanted to know, but, Thought you should know and be prepared for it ;)
