Importing files in HD

When importing files from my Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder it takes forever.
I have 126 files (takes) on one card and 7 seconds of video is taking more than 40 seconds to load and I cant leave the computer.
The problem seems to be when the question asked  not suitable for frame base editing convert or ignore if i go with the recommended convert it takes an age to mix down the file. I have calculated that I need to spend over 20 hours at the computer just to import the files then I can start to edit.
If this is progress I will stick to my old digital video

Is there anyway I can speed up this process?

Are you trying to convert directly from the camera or putting the files on the hard drive? If from the camera then it may be taking longer to do it in the camera. Try moving the files to your harddrive then convert them.
