Windows Movie Maker Import Video problem

HELP!! I am trying to make a video for my husband for our 10th anniversary. I
got all the still pictures, music and titles in and want to add a video of me
talking to him at the end. I can't seem to import the video though. I took
the video with my Kodak Z612 Camera. I keep getting an error message saying
it can't be imported....any ideas why not? Our Anniversary is this Saturday
(May 24) so I really need to get this done!

Thanks so much!

========================================
Kodak creates QuickTime video files in the .mov format.
These files are not compatible with Movie Maker. You'll
have to convert the file to a compatible format...wmv or .avi.

The following links may offer some ideas:
