What audio and video format is required for importing a file into iMovie? My digital still camera's movie files are apparently mjpeg with pcm audio, but iMovie doesn't give the option to import them. None of the help topics for iMovie describe the container, format, resolution, bit rate, sample rate, etc that's needed to import.
