Won’t play in quicktime unless I select “use Avid DV codec”. Solid black otherwise.

Then check the Use AvidDV codec.

The problem with the Avid DV codec is that it’s more compressed than the original footage.

It shouldn’t. Avid’s DV codec for DVCProHD footage is DV100, which is basically DVCProHD in an Avid wrapping. Do this an it should also fast import into your Avid 23.976p project if you choose the DVCProHD MXF resolution.
Avid’s DV100 codec helps people on PCs get around the fact that DVCProHD is only available on Macs with FCP installed. Otherwise you have to buy a DVCProHD decoder. I don’t think you’ll see a discernable difference in quality between Avid’s DV100 and DVCProHD.

Ok, you were right. Avid DV codec worked just fine, no quality lost. I didn’t realize what it was actually for. I just saw the DV and got worried.
So I was able to import the clips and view them but here’s the problem. They are playing back at full-speed, no slow-motion.

Hmmm. You did type ignoreqtrate true into the console before import, right? I was just playing with some stock footage here and got it to work. The footage was about 5 seconds originally and when imported came in at about 12 and a half seconds (2.5x slomo).
I’m not sure what’s up otherwise. Like I said, I’ve never actually done this–just know the theory behind how it’s supposed to work.

Here’s a funny glitch for you. Tried it again. Imported 5 clips. Four are normal speed. One is slow-mo. All were shot at 60fps. Oi vey.
