Home movies won't import
1. I converted a 1:37 long home video VHS tape to DVD with my Sony DVD/VHS dubbing deck. 2. Tested perfect in my DVD player, or my computer's DVD player. 3. I then converted the DVD video to a m4v file on my desktop with Handbrake. (Last time I will ever use Handbrake on my G4 PowerBook for anything longer than 5 min.) 4. Tried to import into my Final Cut Pro v6 and got an error message (can't remember exact words). The m4v file plays fine through iTunes v10.6.1, or with Quicktime Player v7.7, but it will not import into my educational copy of Final Cut Studio 2 with it's included Final Cut Pro v6. Since the educational copy of Final Cut Studio 2 is supposed to be exactly the same as the full version, with the one exception that it can never be upgraded, I can't figure out why my file is not importing into Final Cut Pro v6. Any ideas? I am a complete Noob with Final Cut of any flavor, or any video editing program on the Mac, except a test video with iMovie, but I want to get started, so I purchased my Final Cut Studio 2 and now have about 1,200 pages of reading to do. Any help from users already familiar with Final Cut Pro would be appreciated.

Re: Home movies won't import
If you can open that movie in QuickTime, export it as a QT movie or a DV stream, which will then import into Final Cut for editing. There are some video formats that Final Cut just doesn't like, but it always takes a QT movie or DV.
