Tobias Holm,

Well, the biggest problem is that it splits 2Gb files, so you need to
``cat`` them into one. And for me that's not a problem, but for my
girlfriend it is :-) Also to copy those files you need to find them
first. And again -- it's not a problem for me, but for my girlfriend
it's so much easier in iMovie to just see "hey, I see your camera,
here's a list of previews of videos in it, choose those you want to
import".

Also, of course, if your camera is making high definition videos it
would be nice to convert it to some smaller format, but that's another
bug (maybe in future).

Title:
  Advanced Import from Videocamera

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi!
  I've got a camera which has kind of this struct:
  AVCHD/
    BDMV/
      .../
      STREAM/
        00000.MTS
        00001.MTS
        00002.MTS
        00003.MTS
        ...

  So these *.MTS files are actually a movies. And to import it you can
  simply copy it to your hard drive. But there are some problems with
  that.

  1. It's not so simple for users, would be better to have openshot button "import from camera" that shows all videos with previews and dates, asks where to import (sometimes it's a hard drive).
  2. Cameras use fat32 (I think) and when video is too large -- it's splitted to 2Gb files. So when importing you should find 2Gb files as 1 video and do "cat 00003.MTS >> 00002.MTS" on import or something like that.

  Hope that one day I will start implementing this feature myself :-)
