Oct 19, 2013 12:55 AM in response to 74elanby léonie,Iphoto supports not all movie formats, it is mostly trial and error. I could not find a list of supported file formats for iPhoto, but since iPhoto and Aperture share a unifies library format, the aperture list of supported formats should give you a general idea:
Aperture 3: About Video and Audio formats in Aperture
iPhot will support the video format of the iPhone, also the vdeo format of many still cameras, but not generally the video formats of video cameras. For video cameras you'd be better off with iMovie, that also should be installed on a new mac by default.
The hardest restrictions are the pixel size and frame rate. You cannot import arbitray pixel sizes and frame rates.
Do your videos play in QuickTime player? If not, you may need to install additional video codecs - try Flip4mac and Perian.
