MPEG Streamclip 1.8 error message "can't read frame size"

I receive message "Error: cant read frame size" after importing a QuickTime Movie file into MPEG Streamclip and choosing File-> Export to QuickTime as suggested in another forum to resolve the problem of no sound when importing a still camera QuickTime Movie file like the following into iMovie.
(MPEG Streamclip imports the sound but no video.)

Bottom line, how do I get the video and sound together in iMovie or Final Cut Express?

I'm trying to resolve the problem of no sound when importing/opening still camera movie files like this into iMovie or Final Cut Express.

Ref Bottom Line

Solved my problem by opening the file in MPEG Streamclip and choosing Demux to AIFF and saving the AIFF file to the same folder as the original, then drag the AIFF file to the sound track in iMovie and the original file to the video track.
