Hmm, good to know. Might have to revisit FCPX. I tried it a few times and finally abandoned ship because I just felt like I was editing on iMovie. I have Premiere Pro CS 5, but it deals with h.264 as poorly as FCP 7. Switching cameras would be a solution for me, but I often edit for other people, too, and mostly the footage comes from DSLRs.

Thanks. Just downloaded 5DtoRGB Lite and will give it a try. Hope they have a batch option, though. Can’t imagine doing this one by one.

The Mac Mini is relatively new. I used to edit on a MacBook Pro, but it was 3 years older than the Mini, and its specs were certainly not as good. I suppose I’m editing a lot more Canon DSLR footage lately, whereas I used to edit mainly from a Panasonic HVX. It must be the H.264 format that’s binding up the works.

Solved. It was, as expected, a camera issue. In the settings there’s something called i.Link compression (or something to that effect) and it needs to be switched off. I also re-booted everything after making those changes and the footage finally started capturing in HD. Thanks!
