I shot a movie for a friend that I now need to edit and add sound.
Unfortunately my PC has limited abilities with Microsoft Movie Maker.
My son has an IMAC and the movie capabilities of IMovie look great,
exactly what I need. Unfortunately it won't work with AVI files that
my E-PL2 shoots.
Is there a program that will convert the files to the ones that IMovie can use?
Walter,
Hmm. iMovie '11 has no difficulty importing and editing Motion JPEG
.AVI file from my Olympus E-5. Similarly, Final Cut Express v4 has no
problem with it.
I can't imagine that the Motion JPEG .AVI file from the E-PL2 is
anything different from that ... ?
Apparently AVI is a known quagmire of incompatibilities.
I just came across this freeware utility recently. I haven't had a
chance to try it out myself yet, but FYI:

"MPEG Streamclip is a powerful high-quality video converter, player,
editor for MPEG, QuickTime, transport streams, iPod. And now it is a
DivX editor and encoding machine, and even a stream and YouTube downloader.
You can use MPEG Streamclip to: open most movie formats including MPEG
files or transport streams; play them at full screen; edit them with
Cut, Copy, Paste, and Trim; set In/Out points and convert them into
muxed or demuxed files, or export them to QuickTime, AVI, DV and MPEG-4
files with more than professional quality, so you can easily import them
in Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Toast 6, 7, 8, and use them with many
other applications or devices.
Supported input formats: MPEG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, MOV, DV,
AVI, MP4, TS, M2T, MMV, REC, VID, AUD, AVR, VDR, PVR, TP0, TOD, M2V,
M1V, MPV, AIFF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3, ..."
Versions for both Windows and Mac OS X.
