Understood. To be specific, these are miniDV tapes captured in FCP5 (possibly earlier. I didn’t do the captures myself). I just mentioned the .mov wrapper since there are so many threads out there on how FCPX won’t import .dv files and I’m pretty sure this is a different issue. The specs on my captures look pretty similar to Brian’s, so I was hoping he had figured out a solution.
