Double click the clip so it goes into the viewer.
Set the cursor to the last frame and use the menu to make a freeze 
frame.
drag it to the time line and trim. or visa versa

This is the difference between DV and DV stream. Simply and as I 
understand it.:
In iMovie the audio and video are pretty much one thing and it takes a 
command to even separate them on the timeline. In FCP they are more 
independent  , though still one file in the capture folder.
  These are usually short renders and nothing to worry about.
