I have a logitech webcam hooked up to a PC that will be taking time-lapse videos of a construction site. I will likely be recording segments of video of the site for at least an hour, which means a video file in .wmv of at least a few GB in size. I would like to get this file into iMovie on my personal MacBook Pro 15″ Retina with iMovie 11. What is the best method to do this, to ensure I end up with a file that is an easy to work with size and type for iMovie 11?

Well, first try using the wmv file. It depends what is inside the file -- compression type and format -- whether it will import. If it does, then you are set.
Otherwise just use a program like Miro, MPEG Streamclip or VLC to convert it to a default h264 .mp4 or .mov file.
