If its raw its probably not FBX, probably c3d if its form a vicon system (think thats the format they use) Which if I think about i'm not too sure if you can directly import to maya.

I use motion builder to add and clean up raw data, if you can have a look into it its superb, really fast and easy to use.

BVH you can, never tried CSM but I have heard of it (in motionbuilder)

But like I said if its raw as in straight off the mocap, you might heve to clean up dirty areas, which I would recommend motion builder, but you might have a good chance thats its been cleaned already.
