If you are only going to use is sporadically, why not just use your .Mac account then, since you are already apparently paying for it?
To simplify the process, try this software called File Chute.

You have dupe detection turned on in your sequence preferences.
The dots are telling you that you have duplicate frames (frames you have used before elsewhere in the timeline) within your transition.
Dupe detection slows down performance…you should turn it off if you dont have a pressing need to have it on.

Never tried to do it, but on Apple’s website they make this claim:
iMovie HD and Final Cut Express
Edit projects and media from iMovie HD and Final Cut Express HD with Final Cut Pro 5. With support for the Apple Intermediate Codec, Final Cut Pro can import and work with media and projects from the most recent versions of iMovie HD and Final Cut Express HD.So it looks like it should work, provided you have used the most recent version of iMovie.

It cant run in OSX, its a classic application. FCP cannot run in the Classic Environment, you have to boot from an OS9 System Folder.
You need to upgrade to FCP 4.x or 5.x to run in OSX.

You could also color code the formats of the source clips using labels.

H.264 is not an editing codec. Its compression scheme is too processor intensive for RT editing performance.
Do not use it for editing within FCP. Use a supported codec to edit, then export a reference movie…use Compressor to encode the exported file to H.264. -
And, as you probably already realize…you need a capture card capable of Uncompressed HD…The Kona 3 would be a great choice.

Yes. It still works.
The new location in the FCP app bundle is Resources/Non-Localized Settings/FXScripts/Enablers.
Personally, I would not use Photo JPEG for this project, as your footage has already been pretty heavily compressed for DVD…I would stick with 8 Bit Uncompressed or DV50.

[Matt] “I’m editing in FCP 4.0, interested in doing this without purchasing new software.”
Nattress filters (www.nattress.com) are great for this and are inexpensive, but not free.
For free, you can use Quicktime Pro. (you have a free license for Quicktime Pro, if you own FCP)
Export the completed project, or individual clip as a Quicktime movie. Open in Quicktime Pro, the select File/Export/Movie to Quicktime Movie.
In the movie settings dialog click “Filter”…under special effects, there will be an option called “film noise”..adjust to taste and save your new movie. Import back into FCP for final output. Be sure to use the same codec you are editing in.

No reverse match frame…go to the application menu and select “Provide Feedback” to make a feature request.
As a workaround, you can select your entire timeline and drag it to a bin, which will give you clips for everything in the timeline…similar to an Avid decompose. You can then use your bin headings to search for specifc codecs.
