    Windows movie make should let you import mpeg files. I am not sure if you are doing it right or may be the mpeg format you download form the camcorder is not supported. What program did you use to download the video on to the computer and also it would help to know the camcorder model. if your camcorder came with an editing software then may be try using that.

    As I can see from the file formats supported by Windows Movie Maker, the WMV is supported ... so maybe it's something else that is causing this problem ... just in case .. try converting the video into another format ... here is a list of programs that can be used to do that : http://www.download.com/3120-20_4.html?tg=dl-20&qt...

    When importing footage into the program, a user can either choose to Capture Video (from camera, scanner or other device) or Import into Collections to import existing video files into the user's collections. The accepted formats for import are .WMV/.ASF, .MPG (MPEG-1), .AVI (DV-AVI), .WMA, .WAV, and .MP3. Additionally, the Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate editions of Movie Maker support importing MPEG-2 Program streams and DVR-MS formats. [6] Import of other container formats such as MP4/3GP, FLV and MOV ,MIDI, AIFF, AAC and SWF is not supported.

    well about editing it on movie maker it should let you do that.

    and there shouldnt be any problem.

    but about you tube i really dont know but aslong as you have high internet speed you should be fine uploading it.

    you can also search for a convertor MPEG to WMV see if that works

    You answered your own question...

    Yes, you are correct! For it to work in Windows Movie maker it has to be in a format it can use. WMV...

    You will need a codec converter for that...
