Disabling Automatic Scene/Clip Detection in iMovie 8.0.5 (iLife '09)

I can't seem to find a solid answer to this anywhere.

As far as I can tell, iMovie has taken away the ability to disable Automatic Scene Detection.

See, I have several old videos that I've ALREADY edited and printed back to tape. Now I'm trying to re-import these old movies so that I can share them online.

However, when I import from my camera, iMovie is splitting up my edited movies into its own separate clips which are ordered by date.

It's quite annoying! As far as I can tell I would have to reorganize all of these clips and essentially re-edit them. I decided to just bite the bullet and reorganize my clips, however when doing this, the music in my original movies isn't exactly consistent when jumping between clips.

That said, is there any way to import video without iMovie automatically splitting up my clips???

Thanks!
