i currently am using a sony DVD handycam and the videos come out in .vro format. I was wondering if anyone knows how to convert this format into .MOV to be able to edit them in iMovie.
According to the
MPEG Streamclip home page, it supports the following source compression formats: MPEG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, MOV, DV, AVI, MP4, TS, M2T, MMV, REC, VID, AVR, M2V, M1V, MPV, AIFF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3, ...
However, be advised that MOV is a file container and not a compression format. So the question becomes, "Which version of iMovie are you targeting?" DV files will import into all versions. HD versions will also accept AIC video, as well as MPEG-4. iMovie '08 will import and natively edit DV, AIC, Motion-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, or compatible MPEG-4 or H.264 profiles along with an number of different audio compression formats. However, it will not import files with certain extraneous tracks like "Tween" or "Chapter" tracks.
