AVCHD/BDMV file format not supported
just received a bunch of footage shot on Sony ILCE6500 with AVCHD, an M4ROOT folders and a SONY folders.
attempted to import using "import", using the media browser and also trying drag and drop. in all instances, i'm getting the following alert
file import failure
B-ROLL > day1_card1/AVCHD/BDMV/INDEX.BDM
B-ROLL > day1_card1/AVCHD/BDMV/MOVIEOBJ.BDM
file format not supported
checked BDMV using "show package contents" and the above files exist, although the "CLIPINF", "PLAYLIST" and "STREAM" folders seem to be empty.
but then again, i'm not sure i know what i'd be looking for in each. has anyone else come across this or have a solution? it's simple enough to import the footage from M4ROOT>CLIP, but i've been told that AVCHD is a simpler import method.
