Hi

I have seen lots of threads and all of them seem to end in misery!!

I have a sont HD camcorder and have installed all the software, i also installed pinnacle 12 and prem cs4 (my software of choice)

I can watch the files in sony AVCHD player and edit them in pinnacle studio 12

BUT when i try to import the m2ts files into premiere i get "File format not supported"

Whats the best way around this, i dont want to have to convert before i import really!!!

Many Thanks

Chris

Your first mistake was buing an AVCHD camcorder.........now you'll have to deal with it. Lesson 1, always do your homework first.....................

You can try a trial version of Vegas 8, or frameserve via Avisynth and AVSPlugin for Premiere, or use DGAVCDec and convert to a lossless codec like Lagarith.

..........Sorry, you'll get no sympathy from me, I'm a tried a true HDV user all the way.

I'm guessing there's something missing when you installed CS4. Maybe a checkbox to install additional support files?
