Problems with AVCHD footage from a Panasonic GH4/GH2

I have a Panasonic GH4 and normally film in MOV format at either HD or 4K.  A customer with a GH2 said he had problems with AVCHD footage from his GH2, so I tried the same thing with my GH4.  

You need to set he camer to film in AVCHD.  I filmed @ 1080 50i.  Record a couple of clips and then AMA link to them in Avid.  If you try and play them Avid either locks immediately or plays for a second then locks.  This happens if I AMA link to the volume or the individual files.

Try and transcode the AMA linked files and Avid also locks.

BTW locks = Avid freezes and the computer says Avid is not responding.  No other error message.

If I import the clips the old fasioned way, file - import, they import and transcode fine.

If I load the clips into other programs - I have tried EDIUS 7, Premiere and Prelude CC 2014 - they work.  It seems to be Avid related.

AVCHD footage from other cameras - I have a Sony 3D camera, plus footage from Panasonic 151, AC90 and others - all works ok in Avid.

My tests are using Avid MC8.3 on a PC using Windows 8.  My customer has been using MC8.0 on Windows 7.

Anyone else had this problem?
