Well, if you made it in Windows Movie Maker, the extension could probably be a .wmv or a .mpeg. Whatever the case, you can probably run that thing with a high success rate by just getting VLC for Macs. No need for conversion, since VLC can recognize and play a LOT of file types, including .mp4, .3gp, .vob, .dat and etc etc etc.
Here’s the page for the Mac downloads:

Or if you’re feeling really iffy about converting it, google up Handbrake. Or if you’re feeling lazy, just hit the link below.

It’s free, and it’s effective.
And the best part? It gets the job done.
