I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd so I need new software. Any ideas?

Hi. I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd (I'm very disappointed about that.) The photos are stored in my iphoto and I can burn a dvd using idvd but there is no audio 😟 So.... I need new software. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and my digital still camera is the Canon Cybershot These are home movies of my kids and the viedeos are precious. Thanks in advance!

Canon Cybershot

I can't trace a camera of that name. All that comes up is either the Sony Cybershot or the Canon Powershot!

Please confirm excactly what camera you have, and what version of iMovie.

MY brain must be fried, my apologies. It is the Sony Cybershot. Thanks for checking on that 🙂

Back in iMovie 7.1.4 days, for a still camera, you usually had to import the video to iPhoto. Then you could use it in iMovie throught the iPhoto Event.

I did find some good software on your link that I ended up using called, "Imacsoft." Very simple and easy to use which was great! I will still go back to idvd because I like all the bells and whistles, but will need to figure out why my files don't seem to be compatible. Thanks!
