i have about 7 .avi files that I would like to edit in iMovie to combine into one large movie.

It would appear that is not possible, but I may be missing the option somewhere.

question 1. can this be done in iMovie
question 2. if not ,what can i use to make one long .avi file.

thanks, k

1. Yes, but that's the hard way, since you need to get everything into DV format first.

2. Use QuickTime Pro, for stitching pieces together.

that is correct. You should know, though, that at the end you'll have a mov file, not avi. There is no mac software that can combine avi files to produce a large avi file. Quicktime will let you export one, but it will re-encode it to Cinepak compression (very large files). The best you could do is output from QT to MPEG or something that ffmpeg can read, and then recompress to divx with ffmpeg
