Really need help with making movie

I need to make a movie by cutting up and putting together clips. I only have Windows Live Movie Maker. All my files are MP4 and they dont work on WMM; all that comes out is audio and a black screen. What can I do? I can only dedicate ~3 hours to this..
Please help me! I'm terrible at this techy stuff.. D:

Oh my god, this is killing me.. T_T
@Sjoooberg : Everything was fine but then I couldn't finish installing it. It kept showing error.
@x1king1x : Cancelled it, took way too long to download.
@BobR : I really hope that's going to work.

Edit: It's working so far! Thanks!

This is the free version of "VideoPad" video editor which should be able to edit your MP4 files without needing to convert them first: http://videopad-video-editor.en.softonic.com/

It's fairly easy to use, but I dunno if 3 hours is going to be enough to learn a new editor.

Search YouTube for "VideoPad"... there are a ton of videos showing how to use it.

Also- I'd cancel that download and try again... a video converter should be small enough to download in a couple of minutes.

[quote=x1king1x]get a converter such as

cyberlink espresso and convert them to wmp format

the trail is free and will convert clips fully[/quote]

Alright, thanks. But there are still 44 mins left for it to download and it keeps changing the time. ;[
Any other possible solutions while I wait for CyberLink to download?
