So, I want to make a video on my iMovie and I tried to drag the movie into it. However, it says the file is too big which makes me incapable of creating this video. Any ideas on what I should do so it will fit? Thank you.

Is the file you are trying to import larger than 2GBs? If so, then I think that version of iMovie doesn't support such large files. I can't remember what version that changed though. Likely the 6x series.

Yeah, the thing is is that the file is less than 2GBs and it's still 'too big' for iMovie. I tried to make the film smaller by trying to convert it to iPod size with this program but unfortunately it didn't work.

if that's what you want to do then try MPEG Streamclip
Older versions of iMovie (such as yours) use the .dv file format internally, so anything you drag in will be converted into that format. However .dv files are pretty large (1 hour = ~13GB ), so you'll want to have quite a bit of disk space handy, otherwise iMovie won't be able to import the file.
