So I have iMovie '08 and iPhoto '08. I used Snapz Pro X to capture some streaming Real media to a Quicktime .mov file. I then imported the file into iPhoto '08 and closed it. I opened iMovie '08 and didn't see anything. I tried using the import menu to no avail. However, when I use QT Pro to export the .mov file to a .avi file (resulting quality stinks horribly), then iMovie '08 sees it. I want to use .mov file however. Any ideas?

Can't really help as I'm not using iMovie '08, but why don't you export to DV from Snapz, then import from there?

Good idea. Thanks. But that does not explain why iMovie '08 sees my other .mov files captured earlier (from a camera though).

What is the codec you used for the QuickTime movie?
