Import and edit M4V video to FCP or iMovie

Problem: Importing a Handbrake rip into iMovie?
I have been copying my DVD collection onto my computer using Handbrake with the AppleTV preset. For two movies, 21 and The Da Vinci Code, Handbrake had a tough time copying them at first and both movies play the first minute of the movie and then start over from the beginning. The movie is fine after that. Why am I not able to import these into iMovie '09? And if I can, would I be able to cut out the first minute of both of these files?
