jeff,

that's the bummer about some of the new cameras...
but you should be able to open the .avi with Quicktime (may need QT
Pro, $29) and export or "share" as a quicktime file and then import
into imovie.  not the smoothest workflow but should do the trick for
you.  there are a host other file converters but i think this'd be
your best bet.

Regards,
