Hi Caleb, For what it's worth, I have been importing Canon 640x 480 AVIs into iMovie very quickly, with almost no loss of quality. You have to use the "iSight" Project setting, though, not the "MPEG4".
I hear that there's a secret option in the latest version of FCP to sample a clip's exact settings and create a sequence preset, but since I haven't tried it, I can't tell whether it'll do 15fps. Probably not. And as said before, it's also a problem that they're AVIs. For what it's worth, though, the sequence settings sampling thing is only available by ctrl+clicking a clip to get its contextual menu, and I can't remember what the exact title of the menu item is. And if you have the previous version of FCP like I do, it's no good. But it might help somebody - it's a useful feature.
