Hello,

I have footage shot on Canon Vixia HF10. It produces AVCHD files with mts extension. I have FCP 6 running an intel mac powerbook. Log and transfer is saying invalid file type or invalid directory. Tried imovie and MPEG streamclip and the files won't open either. Just wondering if anyone has any solutions. Just looking to convert the files to qt to be cut in fcp.

Thanks,
Emily

You need to copy the entire directory structure, not just the mts file.

And don't change the names or locations of any of the files at the OS level. Apply the file names you want only in Log and Transfer.

Sorry it wasn't a directory problem it said that unsupported media or invalid directory structure. I got the files on discs and the card from the camera has since been wiped. I'm thinking some meta data didn't get copied?

Discs? Optical Discs like DVD or Blu-ray? Roxio Toast, which is supposed to have an AVCHD archive feature, has a problem when creating spanned discs which seems to create unsupported meta data structure. I'v/Applications/MovieConverter Studio.appe run into that so I'm just taking a shot.

If you're back is against the wall

Will convert the .mts to Apple Intermediate Codec. The free version is slow but it works.
