Prelude/Premiere not recognizing AVCHD as such from Vixia g40

So in looking at all the duplicate files and such produced by directly importing the MTS files into premiere or using the media browser I went searching for several instructions on better ingesting AVCHD from premiere or prelude. They both talked about (in the media browser or in prelude's ingest) that when you get inside the private folder and in the AVCHD folder the "view as" dialog would switch to AVCHD and recognize the contained clips. However for us the view as is not switching, and the view still shows the BDMV and further folder structure rather than clips.



This video outlines the technique around 1:15:

Am I missing something here? I'm now regretting the recommendation of these cameras as the file format is such a PITA!

Any help here would be much appreciated!

Thanks guys, this is the exact procedure we're following to no avail with the latest Premiere Pro CC release. Weirdly sometimes when we go into the folders and import an individual mts it snaps the audio in for that file and sometimes it doesn't.

For now I feel like a jerk recommending these cameras after our boss mentioned hearing about avchd being a pita. It's been nothing but headaches so far!
