IT WONT TAKE IN ANY VIDEO!!!!!!! i imovie hd is slow, but has more advanced features, i know this has been talked about, but thats not my point, imovie 08 has been bummed down, but fast, easy to use, and basic, thats what i like about it, plus the youtube share feature. i purchased an EX-Z1080 that records video in a .MOV file, its codec is H.264 DVI ADPCM, bit rate 524. my old camera was the EX-Z1000, that records in .AVI format, i can put it in imovie HD, but not imovie 08, i guess its because .AVI is a "windows" format video file. but now im suprised that imovie hd takes in the video from my new camera (EX-Z1080), but IMOVIE 08 DOESNT!!!!!!! i drag the video, no way, file> import movies...get out, it says when you plug something in, either a camera, or camcorder, and there is an option from importing from camera, it opens the box with the isight thing, but in the drop down, my camera isnt in it!!! i downloaded a random .mov file, and it worked, got imported, in the import window in imovie 08, in my old camera (.avi), the files were grayed out, same as for the new one, in order to get my files into imovie 08, i have to play this game of putting it into imovie HD, thinking of going to imovie 08 and selecting import imovie hd project, i guess it wont import one clip movies cuz you can just do that yourself, and plug it into imovie 08 cuz its nothing big, i have to share it as a quicktime movie, then import it, what the hell? who has this problem?? im burning mad, and one of the reasons i got this camera was for video!!! actually even more than the camera part, i didnt want a camcorder
update:
i tried dragging the file to the side bar in the events section, it states its not compatible with imovie
