[Jeff Nesmith] “Also, and this is somewhat unrelated, make sure you’re using “log and transfer” instead of “log and capture” unless you’re taking footage from HDV. Hope it’s helpful.”

Thanks for pointing out the distinction, Jeff, though I may have misspoken in my post (but was performing the operation correctly at the time). In any case, I’ll make sure to remember this the next time.

Thanks too for your speedy response, fixing the broken link, and for the straight-shootin’, helpful and richly illustrated article on converting MTS files on the Gypsy Creative site. Very informative! -Jon

Jeff, the above link is broken. Your previous post on the process makes sense, but I’d like to read the detailed account.

I wouldn’t mind paying the $50 for ClipWrap, but it is so irksome that my Sony HDR-CX260, a popular vidcam, creates mts files that can’t be read directly by FCP. BTW, they drop into Vegas on my Windows machine just fine. And VLC plays them on my Mac. But can’t get them into FCP with Log & Capture, etc. This “directory structure” talk doesn’t make sense to me. The dang files should just open in FCP, just like they do in Vegas.

Can you supply the fixed link or copied text?
