Frage von HelpH.:
hello together, 
 I have a big problem: 
 own a macbook, Final Cut Express and the Canon HF10. 
 unfortunately I can not import video files! my mac is a very strange format s.and in quick time comes: "file is not a movie file" and in final cut "wrong file" when I try the files of the camera (via USB) to open. 
 what is this? I do not so much mad money from and then the movies can not even see on the pc! 
 please help me, I know myself in this area does not really come from ...

 please help me, I know myself in this area does not really come from ...  I do not synonymous, neither I nor FCE AVCHD Cam. The last thing I read was that not FCE AVCHD natively, but in an intermediate codec. The usual approach in FC is not a file via USB as a memory stick of rüberzuziehen easy, 
but:> Finder> File> Log and Transfer (or similar) - the program the opportunity to give the file first to be identified. A preview should directly be possible during the transfer itself, as I suspect, is in the intermediate codec changed. Fishing in murky, hope it helps (Manual).
