Edit Flip Video on Mac Lion and burn Flip footage to DVD Lion

Flip Camera and IMovie 11
"Hi.I'm thinking of buying a Flip camcorder and I'm wondering how well it works with IMovie. Can I import the Flip's video directly into Imovie? Or do I need to convert the video first? Thanks!"

Another Flip user with iMovie problem ad following:
"But first time I tried importing from my Flip, it automatically began moving the files into iPhoto, from which it was impossible to move them into iMove. Next time, I quickly quit iPhoto as it started to open, and that seemed to work - the clips were accepted by iMovie. But...I just started another project, did the same thing and this time the "processing" of the imported Flip clips took overnight- 9 hours. What's more, when I try to move the video clips up into the project work space, they disappear!! Dunno if this helps you - but I could use some help now!"

iMovie has different versions, each version has more or less difference, the video formats they can support has its limitation, it supports mov, dv, hdv,MPEG4, etc, but for the flip camcorder(include the Flip Ultra, the Flip Ultra HD, the Flip video Mino, and the Flip video Mino HD) just produce flip video in mp4 or avi format, avi flip video can't recognized by iMovie, so converting flip avi to the formats compatible for iMovie, you can import your flip file to iMovie without any difficulties.
