I bought the Canon Vixia HF200 (HF20) and recorded video. I removed the memory card and hooked it up to my USB adapter to load the videos into my pc. I tried importing the video file to Windows Movie Maker for editing, but failed. The file is not a typical ( mpeg, wmv, mpeg4), its file type is " .MTS ". What do i need to do? how do i get my videos loaded onto my pc for editing?
