So after trying to import them i guess there not compatable...

So as im new to the wide world of macs, how can i get an avi file to import into imovie? I guess i'll have to convert it *sigh*, so what format will it need to be converted too and is there a FREE programme to do so?

Help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Novice, does this convert the video files, or just make them playable in Quicktime? If that's the case, that's not what he wanted.
