Sony Mavica Movies

I have imported 100's of mini CD's taken with my Sony Mavica CD400 into iPhoto.


While I'm able to view all of the images I've imported, I'm unable to view the movies (typical file name is MOV0001.MPG)


The error I get in iPhoto is "a necessary data reference could not be resolved"



I found that I am able to play these movies when I open them in Finder, but that doesn't help me watch them in iPhoto



When I open in movie in Finder I see that I can export these movies as Quicktime files into either iTunes or IMovie, and then drag these new movie files back into iPhoto. I have almost 400 movies so I wanted some advice before starting this process.


Is there a better way?



Also, is there any way I can keep the original date with the file rather than the date of the import/export? That would greatly help me organize my iPhoto folders


thanks

iPhoto '11, iOS 7.1
