Well audio does not have a frame rate per say, so that can be recalculated timecode wise but it will still be in sync with its video. I would create a 30fps (29.97?) for the picture and import the audio. You will prompted for frame rate -select 25fps and it will be recalculated to 30 during import. Sync audio with video as best as possible considering timecode will be recalculated. Once synced, bring .sync clips back into your 25fps project and continue editing. Media Composer will add a mix and match motion adapter on the material to make it 25fps while maintaining its original duration.

It might be worth trying to 7.0.4 which may have more backwards compatibly with 8.x.

I believe alpha channel support with DNxHR codec is in the next release.

I am referring to the onboard hardware based encoding that is on the DNxIO. The press releases only mentions it will do DNxHR, leaving DNxHD to be done in software. On current third party hardware, ALL of the encoding is being done in software. So if hardware based DNxHR encoding has value in your workflow, then this box has it while other don’t. It is somewhat similar to Avid’s DX Nitris hardware having hardware assisted encoders versus DX Mojo which did not.

The non-Avid version has ProRes and H.265 encoders on board whereas the DNxIO has DNxHR. There is no mention of on-board DNxHD encoding. The DNxHR will be an update in Q4/2015. Although not explicitly mentioned, I do not know if the DNxIO also includes H.265 but will assume (for now) that it does. The one advantage of DNxHR over ProRes is that it works cross platform on OS X or Win whereas encoding for ProRes is OS X only.
Other than that and the logo, it is hard to tell what other differences that exist. We will have to wait till Q3 to see what it really ends up being. The big question (amongst others) for me is whether the IO box will continue to use Avid’s Open IO as with all third parties, or will there be better or tighter integration with this model? Word from NAB was that this would not provide universal mastering, so I wonder about all those frame rate conversions it can do.
The Avid version does include the Fusion Connector (not mentioned in the press release) for those wanting to integrate Fusion with MC – perhaps that is why it is a Q3 release which will be about the time I suspect we’ll see the OS X version of Fusion hit the market. But word out of NAB was that there would also be a $200 Fusion connector only price at some point for those who needs just that.
At first blush, this seems better suited to facility class/machine room type configurations. In my world, the non Extreme version is a better fit for my file-based workflows. Comes with full version of Resolve, and getting the $200 Fusion connector will amount to $1,200.
My two cents based on what the information available so far – IBC is Q3 and perhaps the feature/benefit/value changes.

Usually with BWF files, if there is metadata in the Scene and Take fields, those get concatenated into the clip name during import separated by a /. I can’t remember what it uses if there is no values in those fields. But if you open that file in Wave Agent, you can see the different metadata fields and values.

The black event is the sync point for the fade start to black.. that’s how EDL’s work.
Do you need to have record side information as well in your workflow? If not, you might try putting a duplicate of that sequence into its own bin and doing a decompose with 0 handles. All transition handles are accounted for as part of the process.
Another thing to look at is “sequence report”. It might provide what you need. EDL’s are one thing, but reporting is another, and MC needs some work in that area.

When you look st the Tracks column for those clips, are they all the same or do some have more than others? I wonder if whether the number at the end caused MC to think of them as monophonic tracks and either ignored them or combined them up to the internal number of tracks it supports (24).
Try changing the name on a few of those files that do not import to not have a number at the end and try again.

Folder import may be a little funky, but I never use folder based imports myself to know for sure. Some things to try:
1. Try importing just one of the single WAV files that did not import. Does it work? If so, can you select the span needed and does that work?
2. Drag a drop missing files onto the bin
3. Does the WAV/iXML AMAplug-in see them?Michael

Did any of the graphics cards settings/drivers change by chance with the OS reinstall?
