For Mac users there is no easier application for creating a home movie than Apple's own iMovie, which is included free with new Mac computers or available for purchase as part of the iLife bundle.
iMovie provides a fast and intuitive way of editing clips of footage together, adding titles and sound effects and sharing the resultant project via websites such as YouTube or portable devices such as iPhones and iPods.
However, iMovie can only handle footage from DV, HDV and AVCHD camcorders as well as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 footage (formats typically employed for recording video on mobile phones), which means a variety of other most used video files are denied and can't be imported, what a pity. 
So, what if you have other video files already downloaded in your computer on your hard drive like RMVB, RM, YouTube video (.flv), QuickTime (.mov), MKV, WMV, MPG or AVI, MOD & TOD video files (formats can be produced by JVC Everio, Cannon or Panasonic camcorders), etc. and want to import them to iMovie?
Fortunately, we have video converter for Mac that is being able to convert all the video files listed above, but not limited to, to iMovie understandable formats like DV, MP4 even M4V. Video converter for Mac has a powerful codec pack that includes all the necessary codecs needed to encode almost all videos available around us and transcode to DV, MP4.
