I discovered that the .MTS files were what I needed, not the .MLP files.</p> <p>Thanks for confirming my discovery!</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-camera-help-please#post-37547 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 10:15:11 +0000 birdcat 37547@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Chris -</p> <p>I have the SR11 and will have to assume they work the same way (HD AVCHD w/USB).</p> <p>I use Sony Vegas Pro 8 and just copy the MTS files from the camera to my local hard drive.  I can then just drag those files either to my timeline or trimmer in Vegas.</p> <p>I am not sure if the Movie Studio version of the product allows for MTS files or not.</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p> <p>Bruce</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-camera-help-please#post-37537 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:00:29 +0000 chrisColorado 37537@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK. Here's the problem, explained better.</p> <p>I copied the .MLP files from the Sony HDR-SR1(records AVCHD) that my boss owns to our computer's hard drive.</p> <p>Can't I just import the .MLP files into Sony Vegas Platinum using File&gt;Import? It won't work for some reason.</p> <p>Did I get the wrong files off the camera? Maybe I should have chosen a different format from .MLP?</p> <p>Please help!</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-camera-help-please#post-37536 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:21:37 +0000 chrisColorado 37536@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>All right, I called Sony tech support. Very nice guy named Benjamin helped a lot. I figured out which files to grab off the camera.</p> <p>However, still trying to learn AVCHD. Any helpful advice? Tips? other?</p> <p>Thanks!

These are HD cameras recordering on AVCHD, but you guys probably know that.</p> <p>I know NOTHING about AVCHD! He says there's a software thing that supposed to come with the SR1 called Sony Picture Motion Browser. He doesn't have it. Where can we get it? Does it even help with uploading files and stuff?  What files do we grab off the camera and put in Vegas Platinum - the CIP files or the STREAM files?</p> <p>Very confusing! First day on the job, I feel like Kobe Bryant, being told to play Soccer. AVCHD is NOT my thing!</p> <p>Anyway, I'm getting paid a lot for this gig. any help very appreciated!</p>
