I have recently bought the HDR SR12 and I had the exact same problem. I searched for hours online looking for answers and have come to this conclusion. Avid does not like any formats but its own so I was forced to buy Sony Vegas. Its not as professional as Avid but it will accept all sorts off formats plus you can burn your HD movie onto a DVD in a kind of Blu Ray form and it will play in a Sony Blu Ray Player (I use the PS3) Another pro is when you import it just appears there ready to use unlike Avid which does this strange incoding which takes ages. Sorry if this was just repeating what you already know but its the only option I have found.

Good Luck
