You're trying to save .WMV (a Microsoft Windows format) videos on an Apple device. See here for support video types:


Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 60 frames per second, High Profile level 4.2 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format


Alternatively, search the App Store for a video player that supports WMV files. It may register with iOS as being able to accept those files you are trying to download.

Tthe standard way to get any file, photo or document into an app that it is compatible with, is to use the Open In option.


Tap and hold down on the movie icon and select Open In - and you should be able to select iMovie as one of the apps in order to transfer the movie into iMovie. No need to save it to the Photos app, at least as far as I know.
