New Sony DCR-SR200 clips don't play audio in iMovie 09

I have previously imported 100's of video clips from Sony DCR-SR200 to imovie 09 with no issue.


I imported several more yeterday and none play the audio...including some that I had previously imported (and work fine) and had left on the camera and re-imorted. I played one of the files with Streamclip and there is audio.


running iMovie 09 v 8.0.6 and OS X 10.6.5


any ideas?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Found the answer to my problem.

Seems that Apple has been reading the Microsoft playbook and by providing a free "upgrade" to iMovie 09 from 08 has now removed the ability to import MPEG2 files directly...where previously you could.


I can now pay to upgrade to '11 which claims to support MPEG2 on this camera. Has anyone else been down this road and paid to fix what Apple broke for free? Cost isn't the issue, just hoping to avoid the hassle of the upgrade to discover it won't work


Thanks
