• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

My newly purchased camera records in MPEG-2 Transport Stream. (or filename .MTS, or as my camera says in the menu: AVCHD). When I try to open it in Final Cut Express (by right clicking the file and "open with" since opening it from FCE doesn't work since the .MTS files is grayed out and unable to be opened) I get the message: "File error: Wrong type".

So does this mean that I cannot amend, resize or do anything with these types of files in Final Cut Express?

My alternative recording file type is MP4 but that is in much lower quality.

Any tips? And if FCE does not support this file type, will I have the same problem with Final Cut Pro?

Using version 4.0.1
