MPG to iMovie, import MPG to iMovie for editing on Mac OS

Why iMovie doesn't import .MPG files?

You cannot import muxed MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video files into iMovie, no matter iMovie"08, iMovie"09, or iMovie HD. When try to import .MPG to iMovie, you'll get this info:
"File could not be imported because QuickTime could not parse it. -2048")
Even iMovie allows you to import MPG clips, you can't hear the audio, or see the video.

Here I recommend a third-party software to convert .MPG files to editable video format for use in iMovie - Doremisoft Mac HD Video Converter. It supports a wide range of video formats conversion, mpeg-1,mpeg-2, avi, wmv, mov, mp4, m4v, asf, flv, 3gp, 3g2, mkv, mxf, mod, tod, mts, m2ts, ts, tp, trp, etc. Just convert mpg to QuickTime supported movie like mov, mp4, dv, the new video can be imported into iMovie, Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, or any other video editing software.
