I am new to EDIUS and just have been using it for a few days. I got several short MTS files from a Sony camcorder and want to use Edius to edit them. When importing MTS to Edius, problem comes out- Edius cannot handle the MTS footage perfectly. What would be the best way to around the MTS to Edius issue?

Read through some posts online, I have found some similar (but not identical) problems like file import failure, no video playback, program crashed… After looking into this more, I know that the latest version Edius Pro 7 can support AVCHD, but when handling different kinds of MTS clips, problems still exist.
