Best video converting software to put movies into imovie

Hi guys, Ive got some random files - .flv files , that I want to convert into a recognizable file type for imovie.

Im a noob to imovie , and this will be my 1st time using it, so any help in regards to this would be great

Install Perian and it will make Quicktime recognise .flv and you should then be able to import it into iMovie.

Your like my apple angel aint ya?!

But, it doesnt work - in imovie, i go on file / import movies / then find my file, but it wont let me click on it, so it does need to be converted.

Unless I can get my movie on imovie any other way?

Convert it to .mp4. Should work then.

Are you using iMovie 08? It's rubbish! 07 is a much better program.

Just using what came with my mac mate - can I get imovie 07 for free seeing as I have 08?

EDIT - found it assuming imovie hd 6 is imovie 7?
