In case anybody’s interested or runs into the same problem, I think I’ve figured it out. I think you’re right, it’s a limitation of Avid Free DV. It is very limited in what it can import from an external file – only certain MOV files and DV streams. So I was finally able to get some video into the program by converting some video into a .dv DV Stream file, then importing that into Avid.

Well, the thing is, all of my video files play fine on my machine. I tried importing several different file type which used several different codecs, and I have all the codecs those codecs installed on my machine. Also, even the file I encoded with the Quicktime Avid codec would not import the video into Avid at all.

I’m beginning to think there’s either a problem with the program or the install, or something small and insignificant I’m missing…

Thanks for the replies.
