iPhoto 5 video support. formats?

[Lt Major Burns]

i am contemplating iLife 05 upgrade, but purely based on iphoto (itunes is free, i don't own a video camera, don't use garageband much anyway).

anyway, one big feature in iPhoto would be video library. how much video support does it offer? it says only mpeg-4. but that's silly, because not even all cameras use mpeg-4. very little outside of the mac world does. does it support *.mpg, *.mov, *.avi? are there codec plug-ins?

if not some of those, then i can see little point paying £30 for a codec

i'd guess it's probably using the Quicktime library, and would support anything that QT supports.

My Canon S400 Digital Elf makes little .avi movies, and I used to have to use "Image Capture" to get them on my computer. Now iPhoto gets those, too.

So, yeah.... .avi's, too.
