Okay, I finally figured out what the problem was: It was a video encoder in OBS, and changing it solved the problem; I can now import MP4's and Avid plays them just fine. So for anyone else who stumbles across this thread with the problem I had, check the video encoder settings on your video capture program. Failing that, try converting your files

I put one of the MP4 files through Handbrake and had it formatted as an MP4, and this new file does get imported by Avid and plays with no issues. While this is a solution, I would rather find a solution with Avid, as reformatting dozens, if not hundreds of files would take an incredibly long time and be inconvenient, to say the least.

Turning it off causes playpack to stop every 15 seconds, but turning client monitoring on causes constant audio synch issues and random video

Hi; sorry for the late reply, I was experimenting with some other settings. I tried to do what you requested, but AVID is not allowing me to change the export settings for the OP1a options. I've tried looking around in the settings menu, but I haven't had any luck either, and I'm afraid I don't know how to get the settings you've

I tried what you suggested, and VLC does play the file now! However, the resolution is lower and blockier than the previous files when they're played in Quicktime, and I can't figure out how to export in a higher resolution, since there's only one, default option in the video compression tab.
