iMovie file format

[Paul Forbes]

Hi all, does anyone know what format of movie files I can load into iMovie? I want to make my own little movies but I don't have a posh video camera! Ta.

you'll need to convert them to ".dv" using Quicktime Pro... As far as I know, that's the only way short of a digital video camera (since DV is the format they save in...) Hope this helps.

If you don't want to shell out the $30 US for QT Pro, you can download a trial version of BTV Pro and it'll do the conversion for you. I used it a ton of times before I decided to just spend the 30 bucks.

Hope that helps

iMovie 3 lets you just take regular QT movies!
