In Mountain Lion, movies are now locked into Quicktime so the folder structure containing your .mts movie files on SD cards and devices is now all hidden under a file called PRIVATE. To get to the files, hold down the Control key and click on the PRIVATE file. In the popup menu, select Show Contents and repeat through the files until you reach your original .mts files, which can then be dragged to the desktop.

Access AVCHD .mts files
This worked perfectly for me! Thanks!
Access AVCHD .mts files
Yes indeed: it works: first file "PRIVATE", second "AVCHD", third "BMDV", then you have the open folder structure: "STREAM" contains the MPEG stream files (*.MTS)
Access AVCHD .mts files
When I opened up the STREAM file there was nothing listed. How do I get the .mts files to show? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Bottom line: use QuickTime to quickly view these files, leave them alone if you will be importing them into iMovie/ FCP.

Please explain what "locked into Quicktime" means. Is it no longer possible to set video files to always open with e.g. VLC or MPlayerX?

I can set movies to open with any application that will play them. I don't know what that means either.

Access AVCHD .mts files
If it's interpreted by the system to be a document, you should be able to tell the OS what application to use to open it. I wrote an AppleScript and packaged it with a similar automator service that allows you to choose from a list of video apps that will be associated with an individual media object, and you can download it from my site.
The script includes its own list of apps to be selected, it doesn't just look for what's on your system. That's partly because there's no reason to associate the file with an app unless you already know it understands the file object type that you're telling it to open. I think the reason for the phrase "locked into QuickTime" is that not all video software at your disposal to access the video content may recognize the package type, even though it might be able to interpret the object that the package contains.

I'll take a moment and agree with jolipoli. There are many professional recording formats that use multiple files in a "package". I've run across several computer-savy people that have brought me pieces of these packages complaining that they don't play correctly or they can't edit them properly. MacOS is being helpful by showing these packages as a single file when really they are a folder full of pieces.
Access AVCHD .mts files HELP!
I have a similar situation. I deleted a few AVCHD(hmc150) files from an SD card (I was in a hurry and couldn't sort through them all), and now FCP 7 won't recognize the card in "Log and Transfer"!!! I can still view all but 10 clips when the card's in my camera, and the card shows all the files in a finder window. When I try to create a custom path to these files, I get a message that says, ""MTS files" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media." ... Do i need to recover these files via recovery software?? (if so, which one? I have Mac OS X 10.7) or can I unzip, convert, repair, these clips otherwise? please help! thank you -Sam
