Moviemaker for Windows XP SP2 is free

Not free.

Quicktime Pro from Apple can edit movies.
http://gsep.pepperdine.edu/~gstager/MoviePlayer.html

Get it here for about $30. Windows and Mac versions.

OK I got Moviemaker with the SP2 download. But the problem is still, I have
a Minolta camera that creates .MOV files (as in QuickTime) and Moviemaker
does not import or support that file type. Anything I can do?

Yes, I think Pinnacle is the way to go here.
That is if you are planning on doing a lot of this stuff..
I have Studio 8 and it's amazing what you can do with a Movie...
