Can I add more clips to an iMovie project?

Greetings
I have a number of dv tapes with odd bits of dv that ultimately I wish to compile into one movie. I've been dabbling with iMovie and having tinkered with the stuff from tape number one, can I now add to that with bits from other tapes, and if so how? The answer is probably dead obvious, but I can't figure it out. Any help welcome. Cheers Mitcherooney

Yes, you can add clip from other tapes. I tend to do this for each tape. I turn on the camera in VCR mode, then start the iMovie application. I import the data, when complete I save the data, rewind the tape and then quit the application. I then turn off the camera and change the tape and start again. Doing same thing for each tape that I am working with.
