Useful third-party codec pack Perian may cause issues with Final Cut Pro 6. The Apple fix is simple…just trash /Library/QuickTime/Perian.component if FCP is crashing when attempting to transfer AVCHD footage.

    I independently determined tonight that Perian also causes Final Cut Express 4.0 to crash when importing AVCHD video. Trashed it as suggested here and FCE now imports OK.

    Interesting findings, Norm. Thanks for the heads up!
