Using iMovie '08 for simple .mov and .mpg editing, possible?

[Monkaaay]

I have a .mpg movie from my camera and I'd like to edit the size, perhaps add a caption, and export it to .mov. Is this possible using iMovie '08? I figured this is common usage for the application, yet I can't get iMovie to recognize this file (or a .mov file I have from another camera) for import. Any help is greatly appreciated.

use MPEGstreamclip to convert the video to DV and take that to iMovie. It'll work just fine.

Thank you, that worked perfectly!
