The Canon EOS C100 is a professional camcorder with a Digital SLR-sized sensor and interchangeable EF mount lenses to provide film-like performance on HD video. It can record 1920 x 1080 Full HD movies in AVCHD format to SD cards at a bit rate of 24Mbps, offers an ISO range of 320-20000, and can output uncompressed video directly to external recorders. The point here, many people find it a painful experience to import Canon C100 MTS footage to Final Cut Pro for further editing. And there are many frequently asked questions quoted below:

"I have recently got a C100 and whenever I import it into FCP 7 I get a warning with a list of code/file names and it says 'this file format is not supported'. Yet it has imported into FCP 7 and I am able to use it. I am just confused at why I get this warning every time that the file format is not supported?"

"I edit on a Mac in FCP 6, and have recently been working with Canon C100 footage. The problem is, when I open my project in my other computer, FCP 6 asks me to relink the footage, and asks for the specific clips. But in the Finder, I cannot see the individual clips... only the "Private" folder that the C100 generates."
Many C100 users have the similiar problems when importing Canon C100 footage to FCP X, FCP 7 or FCP 6. In fact, the AVCHD MTS files captured by Canon C100 is quite difficult to edit with.
