Default Re: Import Video - Audio Import Option Disabled
OK, mea culpa. The difference in behavior is, in fact, documented.

I was about to submit a bug report, but went back to make absolutely sure the docs were silent on the subject, but upon closer scrutiny, found on p. 1156 that the description of the "Import Audio from File" checkbox in fact says "QuickTime Video only", which explains why the checkbox is disabled for DNxHD content.

I still find this a frustrating difference in behavior, since DNxHD is Avid "preferred" video codec, but at least it's not a bug.

I wonder whether the promised elimination of the dependency on QuickTime for Windows will mean importing of audio from DNxHD-based video files will one day be possible.
