Play Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 AVCHD Lite 720p MTS on QuickTime X

I have a Panasonic Lumix G2 camera which supports 720p video using the AVCHD lite codec. I am using QuickTime X and when I connect the camera I can see the recorded clips and have the option to import them. When I try this, I get the message “An error occurred during import”.



As we known, Panasonic endowed the G2 with a touch screen as well, the first in any consumer interchangeable-lens camera, including dSLRs (medium format digital cameras have had them for a while). The Panasonic Lumix G2 inherits many of the virtues of its predecessor – compact size, powerful optics, ease of use – but also brings some genuinely exciting new extras to the party. As well as shooting HD movies in the economical AVCHD format at 720p, the Lumix G2 makes brilliant use of the latest must-have in gadget land.

QuickTime X takes advantage of OS X’s ColorSync technology to provide high-quality color reproduction during playback and when sharing media to your iPhone, iPod, or Apple TV. Core Audio, Core Video, and Core Animation all come into play to provide the highest possible video quality and eye-catching interface effects. QuickTime X is compatible with mac operating system including Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Mac OS X Lion.
