The new version supports the following file formats: Windows Media Video (WMV), Windows Media DV-AVI, Microsoft Recorded TV Show, 3GP, 3GPP, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, Motion JPEG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, Bitmap, PNG, QuickTime .mov and .qt, AVCHD, and MPEG-4 files. The last three are only supported in Windows 7, which has much better format support than its predecessor. In fact, Microsoft says today's release makes Movie Maker "the first application within the Windows Live Essentials suite optimized for Windows 7."
