Hi there.

They probably need to be converted a format that FCP can handle.
Try opening one those videos with MediaInfo and see what video codec is used.
Some video files may be converted in the Finder: control-click and choose Services->Encode Selected Video Files. If not, you can convert using HandBrake.
Also, Handbrake might be able to convert them. Or VLC that’ll open a lot of files. I don’t believe it has a batch function though.
