OK, so I have just got around to trying to use iMovie 08. When I open it, it appears to go through iPhoto looking for video, but it only finds some of it. It is all from the same camera, so I know the format is correct, but not all the video clips are showing up. Is there a way to force it to re-scan, or to manually import clips? I've tried import, but the ones I want are greyed out. They play fine in iPhoto and QT.
Ay ideas? Thanks.

iMovie doesn't show videos I made at 320x250 with 15 fps (to save space on the memory card) for me. Maybe it doesn't consider those "movies". 640x480 videos at 30 fps made with the same camera are recognized.

All my movies are the same fps and size. It looks like only the ones made before 2006 are showing up.

Hmmm. I have managed to get it to show them if I use iSquint to convert them to H264 - I think it might be a format issue after all, but I can't explain how it can see old ones, unless those have somehow been converted already?
It seems that 08 has significantly less capacity in a lot of ways...
