Is there a way to edit M4V files with iMovie or Final Cut Pro on Lion OSX? Do some similar troubles happened to you? likes these problems:

Problem 1:M4V to Final Cut Pro. Any ideas?
I've been doing a lot of actor's reels for local actors. they come to me with a DVD of their work and I've been using HandBrake to pull the files off the disc, which results in an m4v file. I've had some success converting this to ProRes in QuickTime and editing this in FCP. Does anyone have a better workflow?

Problem 2: Import M4V to FCP
I transferred a DVD to a MPEG-4 movie using HandBrake. I can open and screen the file (just over 2 hours) using QuickTime, but I cannot import it to FCP--which tells me it doesn't recognize the format. I need to edit it for a documentary sample reel. What can I do to get it into FCP for editing?

Problem 3: How to import a .m4v file (made in handbrake) into iMovie?
I was told that if I wanted to edit my DVD I had to convert it first with Handbrake, so I used Handbrake to convert my DVD and it became an .m4v file. But in Imovie I can't import that file, nor can I drag it from my deskboard into iMovie. Any suggestion what to do?

Problem 4: .m4v video won't import to iMovie
handbrake ripped a personal video to .m4v format. iMovie doesn't recognize this file when I browse to import. Is there a work around?

Problem 5: .m4v video won't import to iMovie
handbrake ripped a personal video to .m4v format. iMovie doesn't recognize this file when I browse to import. Is there a work around?
