Apple’s iMovie is part of the iLife suite of software products that comes free with every Mac. The iLife apps are designed to enhance users digital lives by making playing and working with digital media easy for all users. As its name suggests, iMovie is about video editing.

Before you can begin working in iMovie, you need to bring in some video from a video recording device and store the video on your computer (or an external hard disk). iMovie will also allow you to import the following file formats:

DV (standard definition) and HDV (high definition)

MPEG-2 and AVCHD from Camcorders

MPEG-4, DV, and .MOV files stored in Mac


Please note that DVD is not supported, so importing a DVD to iMovie is not a straightforward process. In this situation, third party software – DVD to iMovie Converter help you convert DVD to the formats that are compatible with iMovie. You can convert DVD to MOV (*.MOV), MPEG-2 Movie (*.MPG) or MPEG-4 Movie (*.MP4) as followed several steps.
