imovie and video formats

[craptakular]

I have some footage I recorded from Arma 2 game on windows I used playclaw to capture this. Now I want to edit it on my imac using imovie 11.

Does imovie like avi files?

If it doesn't how do I convert it to mov?

I have'nt got my imac plugged in atm so can't check myself.

If you stick Perian on that might well help, because it adds the support to Quicktime and iMovie uses Quicktime.

For conversion I quite like iSquint, it stopped being updated ages ago but it's free and simple and it works. There's others around, ffmpeg and mpeg streamclip and loads more

Handbrake should do it too.
