Canon LEGRIA (PAL)HF S200 Log & Transfer problem

Hi, I'm tring to convert my footage that's 25p (recorded as 50i as Canon explains)for FCP.
With L&T my 25i interlaced footage becomes progressive and the 25FSp interlaced!
Then I tried ClipWrap demo and everything transcoded to ProRes becomes progressive, with the H264 option (rewrap) everything becomes interlaced...

My system: FCP 6.05 MacPro DualCore 2.66 (Early model)
With Log and Transfer I can only change between ProRes 422 and AIC but no information/option regarding interlaced/progressive.
Does FCP 7 solve this issue?

thanks

There seems to be a major issue with all Canon Legria video cameras and the conversion process to AIC. I have encountered this with my Legria HF20 and iMovie. You may be interested in the following thread:

I have tried to highlight this issue with Apple Australia and Canon, but no one seems to care.

Thanks Casho3, Canon usa said that it's an Apple problem...they are sad, no more help.
At least with ClipWrap I can import them as progressive, the problem will be as how can
we import 50i to FCP, as no one gives the correct flag.

In FCP this isn't such an issue. In the browser, select all the clips with the wrong field dominance, scroll to the Field Dominance column, then right-click and choose correctly: None for progressive and probably Upper for interlaced.

probably Upper for interlaced.

Most likely. Of the interlaced formats, I think only DV is lower field first.
