Replying to MTS files

damn them.

just got a new camcorder (panasonic hdc-sd90k to be exact), and it writes MTS files, which are kind of a bitch. they won't open properly in MPEGstreamclip and won't import into FCP's log and transfer window. i've googled it and still have come up with nothing. is there an easy way around this or am i going to have to convert them all to another file, then run the clips through MPEGstreamclip after?

help very much appreciated, thanks.
