I'm shooting a short film tomorrow with 2 Flowmotion hacked GH2's. I'll be cutting everything in Final Cut X, and wanted to make sure these files will be compatible? Thanks for any help!

Why don't you just try a few sample clips. That'll tell you more than any opinions would.
 
All you really need is a single clip. Shouldn't take much longer than booting the software and importing a file. You might want to take the opertunity to set up your session now while you test.

My assumption (and that's all it is) is that you'll be fine. So long as the AVCHD folder is intact, I don't see why a higher bit rate should cause the program not to function.
 
it will work... the GH2 hack keeps the AVCHD file structure, so as long as your computer/graphics card can handle native editing, you'll be fine. i've used FlowMotion2 footage in FCPx before. Works fine. Even if it wasn't fine, you could easily convert to ProRes and edit that way.
