avi files to imovie 08

[redgaz26]

hi all, just bought ilife 08. looks awesome but have a problem.
all my imported clips from my digital camera are avi files, how do i import them to imovie 08?
in 06 i just imported the files but in 08 i see it's only quicktime files.

a couple of avi clips have been imported which were from my previous camera but the sound is not there and still not there when i play the clips in quick time.
anyone know what's going on.
I thought this was meant to be simple?

iMovie is meant to work with the raw video from a camcorder, ideally.

had a look through the forums and found a few with this problem, I just tried isquint and it worked fine.
