You'd want the files digitally, rather than exporting visually through the AV ports. Normally the FCP capture method would convert on the fly from MTS to MOV file. MTS is just Panasonic's wrapper for MPEG4 video, so shouldn't have any problems importing it. How is your friend importing the video exactly? What menu commands etc. Also what version of FCP is it?
