How to play media from android/smartphone to windows movie maker?

Im trying to make a movie from the videos on my smartphone using windows movie maker (not windows LIVE movie maker). the problem is it wont load the videos.

This is what i did:

1) i clicked import video. 2) my computer. 3) clicked 'removable disk. (F:) %26lt; that is my phone. 4) then clicked DCIM. 5) i clicked camera. after that the file appears blank,

can anyone figure out whats going on and how i can upload the videos without a problem?How to play media from android/smartphone to windows movie maker?
Just a hunch, but I think it may be one of the following, continue through each bullet if it doesn't work:



- Transfer the videos from your phone to your computer into a folder and try importing them?

- Is the file type compatible? Is it a .MP4 or AVI...what is it?

- If the file type is not compatible then you will need a codec or a plugin, search google to find out

- The other option is to use a conversion tool (some can be used online) to convert the file type.
