Are you a PAL or NTSC user?
Did the camera shoot 12 or 16 bit audio?
Is the footage 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio?
These may seem like dumb questions but it will help us to advise which Easy Setup to use.

Thank you Al:
NTSC, 12 bit audio, 16.9
Curiously, I went back to Imovie and I was able to make it work. After the one hour playing it, there was a choice "Import". After rewinding, I pressed Import and it saw the few frames on the area for editing! Now I am not sure whether it transferred or copied to my hard drive for editing....
My first choice is to use the final cut express. thanks.
FCE>Easy Setup>DV NTSC Anamorphic.
This is the Easy Setup you should select then save a New Project and then import over firewire.
Only New Projects are affected by changes to the Easy Setup.
Easy Setup and incoming footage need to match.
To check:
Right click the Sequence icon in the Browser and select Item Properties.
