What video file types will iMovie import?

[W T McCain III]

Long story long:

We had a video made of our wedding. We have it on VHS. I got a copy 
of it on digital tape looking forward to the day I could burn it to 
DVD. That day is now. Problem is, the digital tape does not fit my DV 
camera. The digital tape is DP121 DVDPRO. I am going to try to find 
someone in town who can convert it into something that iMovie can 
import. The obvious answer seems to be to copy it from big tape to DV 
tape to put in my camera for iMovie to import. Somehow I doubt it 
will all fit on a DV tape. There is the question.

What do I have someone convert the raw digital data into that iMovie 
will best import? I figure they could dump it on a DVD if it is a big 
file. I have read:

<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61816>

and other apple pages on importing video, but none give me an exact 
answer that I know will work.

I want to be able to find someone and tell them exactly what I need, 
so it works the first time.

Ideas?

Thanks for the help!
