iMovieHD converts my 16:9 into 4:3

Hi there
I have converted the movies of my hard drive camera into playable quicktime movies and they look great in Quicktime...and they play in 16:9 mode. Now I want to edit them and when I import them into imoveHD or the newer version which comes with iLife it converts them into 4:3...very annoying. Got any ideas....I also noticed that imoveHD imports the movie as a NTSC project and the option to make it PAL does not exist. Considering I am in Australia could this be part of my problem?
Any help appreciated.
Ted
 
I'm not entirely sure, but don't you have to set the project's settings _before_ importing? I.e. you'd set 16:9 and PAL before actually importing the clips?
