• 1) Create a root folder called Mp_Root on an external drive, USB stick, SD card... (Probably works with a disk image as well, though I haven't tried it)
• 2) Inside this folder create another folder called 101PNV01
• 3) Copy the.mod files inside the 101PNV01 folder and change the extensions to .mpg
• 4) Restart iMovie, be sure you're using the "Import from Camera" option in the File menu, then iMovie will detect the external drive as a camera and allow importing all the clips using the date created/modified info as timestamps for perfect cataloguing.
