iMovie woes

[WRCfan]

Hello everyone.

I am making a video of New Zealand with clips I have imported off the web for the Japanese junior high school students in my class. They are all AVI and iMovie wont accept them. I got them from Google video and Yahoo video mainly. Does anyone know a program where I can convert these into a format iMovie will accept (which doesnt require me locating difficult files within the depths of my hard drive) or if there is a application I can use to put them into a little video....

Many thanks

they must be divx or xvid codecs you got there?

i would install all xivid and divx codecs and if you have QT pro export to MOV file

i'm sure it's just codecs what are your problem
