I can't Log and Transfer Panasonic AVC codec in FCP6 on my Intel octacore. I'm talking AVC not AVCIntra. When in L&T and I navigate to the folder containing the files I get a window that says it can't recognize the format. If I use one of my older logging stations I don't have any trouble.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a fix to down load?

I have discovered that FCP log & transfer will not recognize the AVCHD media from the SD card in a card reader. When I copy the file structure to a folder on a hard drive viola!

Not true. May depend on the card and the card reader. I've always done ti from a card reader without problem.
All the best,

For me and our MBPro, a card reader worked, but barely- so slow it choked the system when the Log and Transfer window was open. Forget trying to scroll down to the 57th shot, there's the beachball and maybe a crash.
I treat AVCHD card data like P2 data, meaning I copy to an external hard drive first then use FCP to take it from there. After I know the footage is in the project and its raw file backed up, then we reformat the card in the camera before the next shoot.

I also have the problem of Log and Transfer not recognizing the AVCHD card reader, but even after transferring the files to the hard drive, I still cannot import the files into FCP.
Does anyone think I am missing a step when I am trying to import the files from the File Structure on the hard drive? Thanks!

The fix I found was to move my Log and Transfer window from my right monitor (or control monitor) to the left one. It is consistent, when I move it back I get the "file structure" warning and it will not work. Move it back and everything is fine.
