If I recall correctly, Avid used QuickTime to do the import of MOV
files, and QuickTime is very picky about flagging the video correctly.

I expect you didn't include "-vbsf imxdump -vtag mx3p" in your command
line. But, since you have not posted your command line this is just a
pure guess!

I have sent you a private email off list.
