Convert Panasonic AG-HPX370 DVCPRO HD P2 MXF to Sony Vegas Pro

I just purchased the Panasonic AG-HPX370 and shot in the DVCPro HD 1080i 59.94i format. When bringing the mxf P2 files into Sony Vegas Pro 9, I found the .mxf files do not seem drag to the time line. Any suggestion?

If you are a Panasonic AG-HPX370 user, you will know that the HPX370 can shot video in full 1920 x 1080 resolution AVC-Intra codec. Besides, it offers international HD and SD standards, including 1080i and 720p as well as industry-standard DVCPRO HD as other Panasonic P2HD Camcorders such as AG-HVX200, AG-HPX300. However, when some users intend to put DVCPRO HD MXF to Sony Vegas Pro, the Vegas declined these P2 MXF videos as the above user described.
