I tried to open a .avi file in Windows Movie Maker and I got the following error message:

Code:
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Battle Dimension - 07 - Luxray Vision.avi 
could not be imported. The specified module could not be found.
So do you guys know how I could solve this problem?

Sure, try deleting the avi-file, make it new, and then try to import again. I had the same problem and i fixed it so.

When you say "make it new" do you mean download it again?

It is most likely that the original file is corrupt in some way.

Try re-downloading.
If that doesn't work, try a different Media Player other than Windows.

Could the files be corrupt because the videos started out as .mkv files and I renamed them to be .avi files?

Yes.
You can't re-name a file to change it.

You need a video converter.
There are many online free to download.

If you type into google:
MKV to AVI converter
You will find loads =]

Hope this helps.

Do you know of any video converters that are free (no free trial) and don't mess up like the ones I tried today?

EDIT: I hope that's not too much to ask

The one I use is Total Video Converter!

There is a trial version, but it works perfectly fine :D

I much prefer the Super video converter. It is open source (And thus, free), and doesn't require any codecs. Please note that the name has a copyright symbol after the word Super.

Even though true, I don't think that's what the OP wanted, considering it's Movie Maker that they are trying to use.

Super Video Converter looks like a pretty good converter for something that's free, I probably would have used that if I hadn't already had a converter.

I tried using SUPER and when I opened the .avi file it said "Media Player Classic has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Did you change the file back to its original name before converting?
