In iMovie HD for the mac can I import .avi files with the sound? I know you can't import mpg files with sound

Answer 1

Hi there...in order to import any video file into iMovie you will need a codecs to convert. Perhaps Divx http://www.divx.com/ may be able to do this.

Consider visiting the free Apple Discussion forum: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa and see if anyone can walk you through this if it's possible. Here are the search results for importing .avi into iMovie : http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=import+avi+to+imovie&objID=&dateRange=last90days&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001

Answer 2

You should be able to, you will need a DivX codec for iMovie to be able to read it properly. It still might not work with that, but give it a shot. You can also get programs that will convert the AVI to whatever you want. As for the mpg files they have it set up so the audio is not exportable/importable, it's a protection thing. AVI's don't.
