After Effects CS3 won't import .m2ts...

[tempest]

I finally sprung and bought AE CS3 after using vegas for years, because I really wanted a top program...problem is everything is set up and installed, registered, etc. but it won't import any .m2ts or MPEG files...wtf?

I looked at help, and it says MPEG files are all supported and even lists off .m2t, .mpg, etc.)

Sent a message to adobe tech support, and they say it should work..

Has anyone else had this problem? It's legit non-trial and I would have hoped it worked after spending A THOUSAND DOLLARS... -_- I hadn't installed any Adobe software before this except for Acrobat Reader for .pdfs...and everything in AE CS3 -works-, so I dunno wtf is wrong.

Halp! ;_;

*edit* I tried rendering the .m2t to an .avi using Huffyuv, and AE can accept that...and if vegas can use the .m2ts and everything, why is AE having an issue with them? -_-
