I shot some 1080-60p MTS videos with a Canon VIXIA HF R400, and now I want to import the VIXIA HF R400 AVCHD footage to iMovie’11 on my new MacBook Pro (OS X Mavericks), but in my case I get a message saying the files are not of a suitable type. The interesting thing is that my daughter can import from my Legria to a Windwos PC successfully. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get over this problem, please? Regards.”
