Anyone using a Sony CX250 with a MAC?

I have just bought a Sony CX250E which I am trying to use with MAC editing software. I want to record in 50p - one of the reasons I bought the camera. But I find I can't import 50p footage from the SD card. When I shoot in 50i it comes across effortlessly but as soon as I try to record in progressive mode, the files are greyed out.

If anyone can shed any light on the issue for me, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks, Bill.

My Mac software is bang up to date, so I don't think that can be the issue. The files are greyed out when I pull them over on both my Mac and my PC, so I fear more software won't help.

I'm pretty sure it's a problem in the camera. Sony's "Customer Service" support is terrible: they farm support out to a third party contractor who can't offer anything other than sending me extracts from the (useless) camera manual.

I'm beginning to wish I'd bought the Panasonic!

Brilliant! Thanks. Clipwrap cracked it for me!

I've tried several other programmes without success, but Clipwrap has got the files over into Final Cut for me.

I still think there's something odd going on because - until last week - Final Cut Pro's "Log and Transfer" system imported progressive footage without trouble. Then suddenly it wouldn't look at it! I don't think I changed anything on the camera which would have caused it (but maybe I did??!) My Lumix G2 footage (AVCHD LIte) comes across okay.

Anyhow, I'm back in action - thanks to you guys. Thanks for the interest and the support. It's much appreciated by this new boy!
