In possession of a macbookpro and Sony Handycam DCR-SR62. How do i manage to download video/still photos from Sony unit to the Mac? Do I need a converter or is there another way? If I need a converter which is recommended? thanks

I have a handycam as well, and all you need to do is find the folder with videos or pictures on the mounted Handycam and drag the files onto your computer.

I still havent figured out how to edit the videos with iMovie yet :( the format is in MPG but i guess iMovie doesnt like it. suggestions anyone?

Which version of iMovie?

You can import mpeg-2 format from your HDD camera directly into iMovie '08, which promptly converts it to a format in a .mov wrapper. If you are trying to get it into iMovieHD / '06, you need to first convert the mpeg-2 format to DV by using something like mpegstreamclip.
