Please help me with this video editing problem?

I have an assignment due friday and I am trying to edit a video using Windows Movie Maker but I do not know how to get the video onto Movie Maker. I am using the mini dv disc that goes inside of video cameras and I need help figuring out how to put the dv onto Movie Maker so that I can edit the video. I really appreciate your help and you will get 10 points.

    Hello,insert your mini dv disc in your disc tray,then copy and paste the video file(files) on your desktop you want to edit,after that open movie maker and you can simply import those video files from your desktop to movie maker,also you can click and drag those files to movie maker too for editing.

    Windows Movie Maker can't accept video from mini dv camera, I suggest u camera Video Converter.. I downloaded a demo version and found it was definitly worth buying. One thing I liked about the demo version is that it converted the whole hd video, not just the first 2 minutes. It allowed me to get a good idea of the file size to quality ratio.

    All you need to do is put the dvd/ cd into the cd-rom of the computer then go to window movie maker then click file then click open then go to your cd-rom drive letter most computers are D: then look for the video you want to import you can select multi files by clicking one then hold ctrl or shift then press up or down then after you select the files click open.

    You need to browse the video through your PC in order for you to get the video to WMM.

    Options to do so.

    1. Transfer the video to your PC by inserting mini dv disc to your CD/DVD drive from your camera

    2. Connect your camera to the PC

    Procedure of inserting video to WMM:

    1. Open WMM

    2. Click "Import Video"

    3. Browse/Locate your Video (wherever you save your video or in your camera if you chose to connect you camera than saving it in your PC)

    4. Click import if you have found it.

    The video will be imported to your WMM in several clips and you may start editing your video already which I beleieve you already know how.

    Gudluck!
