How do I remove video from a Nikon D5100 so I can edit it in Movie Maker?

Converting your HD files so as to work with the very simple windows movie maker will cause to loose your HD footage and end up with SD footage.

I have seen many questions where they state converting HD footage to SD footage to use with WMM then creating a DVD that is unwatchable as video quality is terrible.

I strongly suggest to you to get a NLE program that can handle the footage from your camcorder with no conversion what so ever.
