I don't consider this to be a very viable workaround.  The videos are on
the camera memory card and so one would have to either copy them onto
another USB drive with the suggested DCIM folder, or copy/move them from
their native location on the camera filesystem to another location on
the same filesystem.  Either way, it's inconvenient, and not something
that someone who regularly imports videos would want to suffer through
more than a couple times.

Title:
  shotwell does not categorize MTS files into events

Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a Sony HDR-CX675 which produces MTS video files.  When I add
  them to shotwell (version 0.28.2), the video files are added to the
  "No Event" category (if that is the right term).  Other video file
  types such as MOV files are categorized into the correct event based
  on the media creation time.  If I play any of my MTS videos with
  parole, the date and time are displayed on the video (I don't know why
  parole does this, but that's a separate issue.  The point is that
  parole is able to figure out the date/time of the video, so shotwell
  should, too).
