Mpeg2 isn't much supported in FCPX. You're going to have to convert it to H.264 or ProRes first. I'd go with H.264.

hank you for your help and reply ..can you tell me is that why im only getting a green screen but full audio ?

The JVC 550E supports many different codecs. As FCPX.guru said, you can either pick one that works with FCPX or stick with the MPEG-2 codec and convert it externally. Handbrake, the free version of DaVinci Resolve or EditReady2 might do this; you'll need to explore that: www.divergentmedia.com/editready
