Hello all. I have a new unibody MB 2.0.
I have a 10 minute home video from a DVD that was encoded to MP-4 by Handbrake. I just want to delete a section of the clip where the camera was left on in my pocket inadvertanly. When I try to import the movie, it says that it's loading thumbnails from the clip and the time remaining goes to 100 minutes, YIKES!! Does it really take that long to import a 10 minute MP-4 clip into iMovie or am I doing something wrong?

Also, when I open iMovie, it prompts me to gather thumbnails from the video clips I have in iPhoto but everytime I try, it locks up and I have to do a force quit. I have probably 10 short .MOV video clips in iPhoto that are probably 20-30 seconds long each. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
