Sony HandyCam dcrdvd108-windows movie maker-probs with codec

hi all newbie here
I'm actually under a windows XP but I have some videos I recorded on my
sony handycam dcrdvd-108. I have uploaded them onto my pc using the
software sony has given me. I try to put these videos on windows movie
maker and it says there is a problem with the codec. Can anyone help me
with this?

XP movie maker does not work with mpegs, see
