---DESCRIPTION---
Windows Movie Maker 2 only determines whether a file type is supportive by it 
or not, ONLY by judging its extension. So, suppose if you have to import a VCD 
movie (*.dat) to your Windows Movie Maker 2 you have to copy the whole file to 
a read/write drive rename its extension to *.mov (ie: any extension that media 
player 2 recognizes)

file by its header so it doesn't matter even if you rename a movie file to 
*.zip, it would effectively look at the header data and allow us to import in 
WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER 1. But strangely, Windows Movie Maker judges a supportive 
file type just by judging its extension! This could prove very inconvenient if 
we have to import a file through network or read-only drives.
