Through a complicated series of events, the footage for my student film has been uploaded using iMovie. I now want to edit it on Adobe Premiere on my laptop (I couldn't upload it directly as the laptop has no firewire port, and Premiere doesn't work on my desktop because it isnt SSE2 compliant or something). However, the files are in quicktime format.
So, how do I convert Quicktime into a format that Premiere recognises, without the loss of any quality?

Find out the codecs iMovie put the movie is in. Find out if Premiere supports those same codecs. If not, you may want to reimport it using codecs Premiere supports. If there are not codecs mutually supported, then you're hosed.

Premiere won't recognise the files (they don't appear in the open file window). I can't capture again as it took a lot to get this far. The files seem to be in 'DV' quicktime, whatever that is (the file image is the QT logo, with DV underneath). I was hoping there would be some form of downloadable conversion software?
