Answer 1

Most videos recorded by camera are AVI video, you have to convert it to MP4 or MOV video at first, then you can add it to iMovie for editing. If you don't know how to convert video on Mac, you may refer to this step by step guide, it works pretty well for me

Answer 2

Your answer should be in either the Mac PC or in the camera book. If camera has a DV socket and PC also -it is simply by using a DV to DV cable.
