    Dropped Frames PPro CS4  AVCHD MTS cards

      I just purchased a Panasonic AG-HMC40U video cam.  I am using a Sandisk 32GB extreme SDHC card.  I did a shoot where I shot for two one hour sessions turning the camera off once and then on again between the two sessions.  I have a Dell Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU  920@ 2.67GHz   12GB ram, 64 bit with Win 7 home edition.  I put the card into my computer and saved the complete set of files to a folder on the computer.The files on the card are divided up into 26 minute sections which seems odd since I turned the camera off and on only once during the session.    I import the stream files into Adobe CS4 Prem Pro.  What I notice is at the end of each segment there is a dropped audio and visual frame.  Not good when recording someone singing!  I can overlay the visual with shots from another camera but the audio is not replaceable in live shows.  This also happens with my other Canon Vixia...but I figured it was the camera..now I know its not.  It happens with other SDHC cards as well.

       

      I did take my card files to the store where I purchased my Panasonic and they had Mac Final Cut Pro.  They imported the segmented files into it and it came in as two (which was the amount they should be) and there were  no dropped frames.

       

      I am perplexed as to why this is happening. I am told by everyone so far that I had talked to that it is Adobe Prem Pro CS4 that is not inporting the files correctly.  Should I upgrade to CS5.5?  Will this correct the issue?  Help.
