why can't FCPX able to import AVCHD (MTS) files from my Panasonic camcorder?

I have just changed over to a MAC system from a PC Windows 7 pro system and although I had no problems in downloading the AVCHD files into the PC Windows 7, using my iMac and fcp X the system just does not recognise anything but still images off my SDHC card. I would like to know whether it's the OS X 10.68 or fcpX that is responsible for this non recognithion of the AVCHD (MTS) files produced by the Panasonic HDC-SD900 model.

Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.6.8), iMac, processor 3.4 GHz Intel i7

Sony HDR-PJ30VE

AVCHD / MPEG-2

HDD / Memory

It's on the supported camera list. Most AVCHD cameras are.

Do you think they will make a new version of FCP X 11, and maybe this will support MPEG2, 50p

What MPEG-2 50p? What are you talking about? AVCHD is MPEG-4 and is currently supported on in 1080p50 and 60n on most AVCHD caemras.
