You're probably on the wrong list for this type of question. I also belong to the following list, which discusses questions such as this all the time. MacDV mailing list: MacDV at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/macdv Give it a try. It's very helpful, and it's also very active. You'll probably get an answer pretty quickly. I'd help you myself, but I think most of the people on the list know much more than I do. One thing I'm pretty sure of, however, is that you can't just import those files straight into iMovie without converting them to digital files in some way. That's where the other list will help you.
