He can connect the camera's analog out to a bridge or pass through a DV 
camcorder to convert to DV and then import to iMovie.  The problem with 
this solution is after the camera compresses to mpeg2 then converts to 
analog which you convert to DV then edit and probably compress to mpeg2 
again to burn a DVD the quality has to suffer.
