The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V ($479) is a high-end superzoom
camera that does just about everything imaginable. Whether you're
talking about its built-in GPS, 360 degree panorama maker, 10 fps
burst shooting, instant HDR photos, or 1080/60p videos, the
HX200V has nearly every bell and whistle ever created. To top it
off, it features the highest resolution sensor in a compact
camera (18 Megapixel, which may or may not be a good thing) as
well as one one of the most powerful zoom lenses (30X).

I have a Sony CyberShot DSC-HX200V and I shot video using the
AVCHD setting, but i can't import the file to my Mac. I am
running OS 10.7.5 on an iMac 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5. I have
up-to-date versions of iMovie and iPhoto. Neither of these
programs will recognize the file. I tried importing using Final
Cut and Adboe Premiere Pro as well, but with no success. Is there
another way to import this file? Am I missing something? What do
you suggest?

Have you met the above similar issue? The HX200V recorded 60p
AVCHD is unsupported by iMovie up to now. In fact 1080 60p is a
nonstandard format, it is can't be recognised by almost Mac Video
Editing Softwares, including iMovie 11. How to make Sony
Cyber-Shot DSC-HX200V footages compatible for iMovie anytime? The
best way is to encode video to AIC, the iMovie's best suitable
format. The best AVCHD to AIC Converter is recommended by some
professional forums, which is devoted to transcoding AVCHD
mts/m2ts files to most common edit tools. Below is the simple but
useful guide for you.
