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.

The app Roxio "Toast 11" will apparently handle those files just fine, without having to wait for transcoding.
I actually emailed Tim Cook at his Apple adress about this. Hopefully I get a responce XD!!! If I do, I'll post it here.
FCPX by default can directly open .mts files, that is no doubt.
To make your mts files playable on QuickTime, you must upgrade your Mac OS to Montain Lion version. you can check the detailed info. here:

If you dont want to upgrade you Mac OS X, you may also do so other task like conversion from mts to an QuickTime friendly file like mov, mp4, 3GP, etc.

Hope it works for you.
