How can I expand my AVCHD files in Finder, because I don't want to watch them, I want to convert the .MTS files INSIDE the AVCHD file. How do I do that?

Hey guys!


I have an issue with Lion.


I used to be able to expand the AVCHD file in Finder and go through all the folders and subfolders until I got directly to the .MTS files themselves, however, when I upgraded to Lion, I lost this ability.


This makes it very annoying as I now am using an older version of a video converter to get to these files, when the newest version of the converter works faster. And in order for me to use the newest version, I need to export AVCHD as a .mov, which takes 30mins to do.


If anybody could tell me if there's an option I need to select with Lion, it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks, Steve
