anyways, all you have to di is ipen the AVI in Quicktime and export it as DV - you probably will want to change the size of the AVI to 720x480 (assuming you are using NTSC). The video will look blurry, but hey it's a still camera not a DV cam...
hope this helps....

Anyways, this may be moot, since iMovie is very unstable for me, and I don't have anything on my Mac to export the files to. I only have an iBook, so I can't use iDVD.
