Q: Is there any way to open .mts files in Qicktime and FCPX?
Is there any way to open .mts files on the Mac? I am reffering ti opening them in Quicktime and in FCPX. My camera costs a LOT, and I think it's ridiculous that I can't open these files. I can't even find a decent conversion tool to do it for me. Please help!
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Applies to Quicktime as well

I just checked this link and it's looks like FCPX have no problem to open it.
http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/mts
.mts is also called AVCHD.
I also check FCPX Documentation here : http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#ver2833f855
And it say it can support AVCHD videos.
VLC also support it for watching the video and anyway Quicktime X is useless with many codecs.
Check again to import files in FCPX as i can't test i don't have any .mts files.
Hope this help.
You can read this also if you want to convert them : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1412182?start=15&tstart=0
I will say it's better to use Handbrake, anyway it's what i use.
