technologically challenged

I've got a technological question for my computer gurus out there. I have been taking some video shots with my Kodak Easy Share camera. I want to put those videos on a DVD to watch on my tv. I use Pinnacle or Windows Movie Maker to make DVDs, but both say they won't accept a .mov file. The Kodak Easy Share only records video in a .mov / Quick Time file, so how in the world do I convert the file? Also, what do I convert the .mov file to in order to make it work? I tried some program called "Super" to convert it, but it's not working for me. I need to put these videos on a DVD for grandma, so could someone help me out?

P.S. There are probably two people who will solve this: Mike's great-grandfather or someone's 10-year old kid.

http://mp4cam2avi.sourceforge.net/ and http://www.videohelp.com/tools/SUPER were two suggestions I found. Both are free programs that change Kodak MOV to avi.
I have a Sony that records video with MOV in the name, but the files seem to be mpegs, which work just fine in software I have.

Lisa,
The easiest thing I can think of is to upgrade your Quicktime to the Pro edition, the cost is $30 and it lets you export your .mov files to mpeg-4 or other video files to import/burn to DVD. Hope this helps. The Spellmans
