IM 06 fails with no error msg. The movie placeholder simply goes blank.

Yes I can play with QT, they are interlaced, but I guess imovie 08 fixes that.

Yes I see all the clips in the import screen. They just have errors on importing.

I can play the clip, but there is no sound.
HOWEVER!
Most clips show they are 18.23mins long. This is because they have been cut off for file size or something by the HD7, I imagine (not sure?). The only one which does play with sound in the Import window, is 2.18mins long, and it is also the only one which imports correctly. Bizarre!

They were actually recorded as SP. I have recorded other movies with Full HD and SP since, and had no problems, however... Could it be the length/size of these clips creates problems?

Mac os X 10.5.3
QT 7.4.5 (25) with the QT Mpeg software installed.
Thanks for ur help in advance. A puzzling bizarre problem! Especially when it originally did import some clips. And yes, these clips were the same size as the current ones which I am having problems with. About half of the clips came on, half aren't liked by imovie.
