How to import Insignia 720p HD AVI files to iMovie on Mac

"I bought the Insignia camcorder not knowing it wasn't compatible with Mac. I used to plug it into my MacBook via usb, and I couldn't view the videos. I've downloaded Perian. This only allows for the videos to be played on Quicktime, but it still won't let me download my videos into iMovie so that I can edit.
