Hey Caleb, It's not going to happen. This is one place where Windows Movie Maker kicks butt. On a Mac it's best to convert these files to DV for editing. If you are using Final Cut Pro you can create a setting with Compressor to convert things to DV and then make a "Droplet" (mini application) out of it. That's what I've done. I download my clips from my Xacti into iPhoto and drag the ones I want to edit to my droplet in my dock. Then I get snack while they convert to DV.
