not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported

I tried to move my video file toWMM but got the following message(s) for all
of them.

The file F:\My Videos\Family Videos in the Poconos\VIDEO_TS.BUP is not a
supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.

The file F:\My Videos\Family Videos in the Poconos\VTS_01_0.BUP is not a
supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.

Can anyone tell me what to fix this?

The actual video file is the .VOB file that is in the same folder as your
..BUP file. They can't be opened by WMM natively. They need to be converted.

See www.PapaJohn.org for importing VOB files into WMM. Left side, open
Import Movie Source files, Video, Discs - DVD, VCD, SVCD for more
information.

Hope this helps, let us know.
