[MacDV] Best way to incorporate still photos to iMovie?

[Thubten Kunga]

Garbage in Garbage out. Shooting with DV will be low resolution 
garbage. Scanning will be high quality masters. Sure the finished 
product will only be DV resolution. But by starting with the highest 
resolution, your iMovie will look much better IMHO.
