Firestore FS-5 video with Final Cut X

When I try to import footage that I captured with my Firestore FS-5, Final Cut X says:

"No Importable Files

None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."

The video files were captured using a Sony Z1u camera. They have been copied onto my computer. The specs of the video files are:

HDV 1080 60i

1920X1080

16-bit 48kHz audio.

I tried converting one of the video files to Apple ProRes, and I CAN bring that into Final Cut X.

Why Does Final Cut X not import these files natively????

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

It's worse than that. It looks like FCPX was delivered with a bunch of new codecs (or perhaps they were downloaded via System Update subsequently) that broke HDV recorded on the Firestore. I have a bunch of .mov files on my system now that can't be used anymore; they don't preview, play in the QuickTime player, open in the current OR PREVIOUS version of FCP.

I called Focus Enhancements to ask them for advice; according to them, I'm the first person to report this problem. You might want to call them (650-230-2400 x429) to ask about it too, though I suspect in a few days they'll figure out something is up.

In the Info inspector use the Settings option at the bottom left. With the clips selected you should see an option with a popup for Anamorphic Override.
