Solved. The shooter had used a Panny cam recording AVCHD and had ripped out and converted the .MTS files - I was misled! If it helps anyone if future, when I got hold of the complete card copies, Avid behaved as expected so I imagine that missing metadata had caused the beach balling.
Yes, I checked that. The problematic files are around 23 Mbits/sec while some others from a 5D that play much better are around 46 Mbits/sec (so less compression). Both are 1080P. I'll check with the shooter as to exactly what he did. I see that the 6D has an Intra-frame mode which is supposed to be better for editing but I bet the files are much bigger.

I'm banging my head on the wall with some AMA linked H264 files from (I'm pretty sure) a Canon 6D. My setup (iMac 3.2Ghz i5, 24 GB RAM) copes pretty well with H264 from the 5D (I can at least play easily and sub clip prior to transcoding) but this 6D footage causes constant beachballing and errors. I've resorted to sub clipping interviews with the video track turned off! Files are on a Thunderbolt drive. FCPX plays them fine and PPro CS6 is not too bad. Anyone know of differences between 5D and 6D files?I really wish Avid would improve performance with existing formats before rocketing off into the UHD zone.
