iMovie 8.0.5 Adds Support for New iFrame Video Format

Apple has updated iMovie to v8.0.5 and added support for the new iFrame video format.

This update improves compatibility with a number of devices and fixes other minor issues, including:
- Improved compatibility with camcorders using the iFrame video format
- Improved compatibility with importing video captured on the iPod nano
- Fixed problems with resizing the iMovie window during playback

Sanyo who today released the first two iFrame compatible video cameras (the VPC-HD2000A and the VPC-FH1A) details the new format...


iFrame is a computer-friendly video format that has been specifically designed to simplify the process of working with video recorded from a camera. With iFrame, the video recorded in the camera is in the same format that will be used for editing, which means that importing video is fast and file sizes are small. This translates to quick and easy editing and sharing of movies across multiple platforms and devices. This new format can also be used with both Mac and PC compatible applications due to the use of standards-based technologies such as H.264, AAC, MP4 and MOV.

You can install the update by selecting Software Update from the Apple menu at the top left of your screen.
