Q: How to import AVCHD MTS from HDD to iPhoto ?
I have around 700 MTS files on a hdd that I want to import in iPhoto but he refuses to do so.
Is there a trick to do it right ?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I've already read this article carefully and, if I understand, there is NO way to import these MTS files in iPhoto if these files are NO MORE in the original SD card (on a HDD in my case and aven sometimes with renamed files) ?!?
That's the answer, regardless of who answers. The problem is this format depends on a quite particular arrangement of the files to decode. Break that and you're out of luck, I'm afraid. I would be seeking to transcode the material into another format.
Going forward:
A note on AVCHD: This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.
