Hello,

A little background might be helpful:

A friend shot mini-dv in Europe on his pal camcorder and sent me a CD-R containing mpeg2 for me to edit here in the US. He used Pinnacle Studio 8 to make smaller segments and used Nero Start Smart to do the burn.

When I do "trick" the mpeg2 into iMovie the quality goes to poor and no sound. By trick I mean start a New Project and then close it, then from desktop I export and dialog box asks about "stray files", etc. I cannot do a direct import from iMovie4.

Would someone be able to walk me thru the steps from a CD on my desktop into iMovie4 the correct way.

Thanks,

Alex
