Title:
  Advanced Import from Videocamera

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

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 :-)
