Same problem here from time to time. Tried to figure out a pattern, but it hasn’t happened in a month or so to me. I swear its something with file types in your current project. I’ve had FCP freak out and crash simply because a WMV file was on the desktop. Just ridiculous. I’ve searched for a end all fix to this hiding problem, but nothing so far.

I have MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 and it will NOT recognize MTS or M2TS files. My MacPro with Dual-Core Intel Xeon thinks an M2TS file is a Unix Exe file! Changing it to a MTS only provides all the same errors listed in the previous responses.

FCP — Cannot import or L & T
ISkysoft — can’t de-interlace, poor quality
MPEG SC — Does not recognize file type. How are you bringing the file(s) into the program? Are you pulling a different file out of the folder structure? Or just the xxxx.MTS file?

These files are out of a Canon HF20 and I have no access to the camera or Vixia software (which I would avoid anyway for this terrible compression tactics).

This is all consumer level garbage at this point.

I absolutely knew it was going to be something easy/stupid like that! Back tire was set to bezier, front was linear.

thanks!
