Every time I attempt to import a movie clip into iLife6/iMovie it "quits
unexpectedly" = crashes. The movie clip is from my digital camera in
format "movie.avi" -- supposed to be a common digital format.

Any suggestions?

Did you install flip4mac? There's some reports that that's causing some
grief with a few things. Not sure that iMovie was one of them though.

Something else to try is to temporarily move all the items in your
'Movies' folder somewhere else and see if that cures it.

Apparently the very recent Flip4Mac update - 2.0.1 -
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28842< fixes some of
the problems. I have just installed it but have not had time for any
quality furtling with iLife yet, sadly.

It'll crash anything that uses Quicktime. But if you get the flip4mac 2.0.1
update all is fine again.

The other possiblilty is that the AVI contains some sort of oddball encoded
thing that Quicktime can't handle. AVI can encompass lots of things, so it
isn't easy to say.

Cheers,

One of other of ffmpegx and divxdoctor seem to get most (all?) dodgy AVI's
working in Quicktime
