Import MP4 to Windows Movie Maker for free editing

Published on March 29 2013

"I downloaded a video as an .mp4 file. Windows Movie Maker didn't recognize it, so I tried to use the program mp4cam2avi to convert it into an .avi file, however this only made a file of the audio with no video, which is completely useless to me. I just want to be able to get this mp4 into a format that I can edit with Movie Maker. Help, please?"
