Using a MavBook Pro, trying to use IMovies to edit some wildlife videos. For some reason, IMovies does not recognise these files as editable. In fact QTP doesn't play the these videos either. So using VLC to watch the video, what is the alternative to Imovies for editing them?

Hi,
Since you have VLC, try using it to convert one of the video clips and see if the converted clip will play in QTP and iMovie.
VLC, File/Convert Stream. Choose Profile Video-H.264 + mp3 (mp4). Convert and Save to desktop.
You can also use the free download, Handbrake, to do the conversion to Mp4/ACC, that Handbrake will do by default. You can get Handbrake here:
A simple way to do it is to open Handbrake and do a File/Open Source. Navigate to your video and choose it as the source from the resulting screen. Then do File/Start Encoding. Wait a couple of minutes for the conversion to
complete. Then save and import the converted clip into iMovie.
