Public bug reported:

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 :-)
