I have noticed that I cannot import, nor view, my AVCHD media from my SD card if the file renamed (in the card) on a PC. It will just give me an error or not load at all. The file shows up as Private with a QuickTime Logo. I do not have this problem on files that were never renamed. Thanks
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Hello spadenti,
Does any other AVCHD file able to be played on that PC? If not, then that would point that AVCHD codec is missing on the PC and therefore the file is not able to be played. Please take a look below to know how can you install such missing codec.

In case all other files are playable then your files might got corrupted when renaming them. I would suggest to get back on your iMac and copy them into a different location (USB disk, etc.). Also you can check whether the files are repairable from your PC using MP4repair.org
