Why spend time importing that video into iMovie? Just use the scrub control on QTPro and pick on the portion of the video you care about and share that with others. You can also edit videos better than you can in the Flip Video for Mac s/w.

_Export (MOV) Using QuickTime Pro - Movie to QuickTime Movie / LAN/Intranet_ _Source (AVI) from Flip Cam - wife holding kid washing hands_įormat: XviD (3ivx), 640 x 480, Millions, Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz I have QTPro so I'm a happy camper but for those unaware, the CODEC shipping with the Flip Cam appears to have formats from Microsoft: In the “General” section, make sure that you deselect the checkbox named “Open Using Rosetta”.Īfter ensuring the “Open Using Rosetta” is not selected, and DivX is installed, you should be able to view your videos in iMovie ’06.
