AVCHD log and transfer woes.
Folks, I am using the latest version of FInal Cut (7.02) to log and transfer AVCHD content from a Panasonic Lumix GH1. Many clips get imported but many stop with errors ( a stream error as note by a exclamation mark in a red alert icon in the status column) even though they play back in the log and transfer window, VLC, Toast 10.
I\’ve had to resort to using Toast 10 to transcode which is disheartening that it can and FCP can\’t. Plus it\’s slow. Another strange thing is that in FCP the number of clips that are successfully transcoded outnumber the number of clips for the same reel in Log and Transfer.
Per some other message board to troubleshoot, I\’ve updated my FxFactory plugin app, uninstalled Perian, deactivated the pulldown feature in Log and Transfer, and changed the AVCHD audio settings to plain stereo. None of these efforts has changed the stream errors I am getting.
I could use some advice on this.

The Lumix camera does not shoot AVCHD. It shoots a bastardize format called AVCHD Lite. I’m surprised any of it works in FCP. It just won’t work properly with Final Cut. You need third party software like Toast to convert the media to LT.
All the best,

I’m having the same problems now and it’s madening. I shot with an HMC-150.
What is the dropdown feature to deactivate from Log and Transfer? I’m not sure what feature that is but I’d like to try it.
Any other things to maybe try if I’m frequently getting the same stream error message. This has become an increasing problem over the few months. I dont recall this happening so much before. I’m not sure if that means I should be looking at something else in that case to troubleshoot.
