Additionally:

I tried it again with all your mentioned syntax changes but without 
changing the "-qmin 1 -qmax 3" -> now it works to encode.

But the MXF metadata doesnt change (SIGNAL STANDARD = 1 (ITU 601) + 
display y offset +Color siting = 4 (Rec 601).

The only difference I saw with mediainfo is that the new MXF (your 
syntax) has a CLOSED GOP structure and the old one (my syntax) had a 
OPEN structure.
