I know nothing about that camera, but I do know that if you were to 
pay the $30 to upgrade to QuickTime Pro, you could export the movies 
to some other format, and I'm sure into a format you could use in 
iMovie.

Just go here <http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html>  and click the 
grey link to "Upgrade Now".
