You can use total video converter to convert the videos into AVI. You can download a 15 day trial

Generally Windows Movie Maker support .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv. If you use Vista it also support .dvr-ms. So you can convert your video to any of them above, I recommend Cucusoft YouTube Mate which helps you download, convert, play and manage your favorite YouTube videos. With YouTube Mate you can also convert downloaded YouTube videos to a format compatible with your favorite portable device; including – iPod Video, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPhone, Zune, PSP, as well as video capable MP3 players, video capable mobile phones, and Pocket PC.
