Greetings,


Depending on what version of iMovie came with your computer and if the model of camcorder you have is on the supported list, importing directly to iMovie from the camcorder would be the built in method on your computer:

iMovie '11: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84bc2.html

iMovie '09: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290


Otherwise you might need additional software to convert the file type that camera produces.

If you plug the camera into the computer and look inside it you can see what type of file it creates (.mov, .dv, .mts, etc.) Once you know what kind of file it creates we can suggest programs to convert them.


Cheers.
