If you use MediaInfo (free) it will tell you what the MP4 is. If it's XDCam EX, it will be MPEG2 with AES EBU audio in an MP4 container.

You can rebuild the file structure with the Sony XDCam EX clip browser. Import the the MP4 files into the clip browser and it will make
a BAPV folder with the correct structure. Once you have the BAPV folder, AVID will mount it AMA.

Are the MP4 files from an EX style Camera? If so looks like whomever gave
them to you has broken the BPAV file structure, a big NO NO! You will need
to get the originals if that is the case.

Subject: [Avid-L2] AMA Plugin For SONY .mp4 needed
we're getting a pile of media on drives that is .mp4 that is not opening
with AMA.
Checking the Avid plug-in page & following the links for MAC OS has two
times now given me a file that MC can't open - it claims to be not
recognized. I also tried Streamclip & Handbrake to no avail.
Anyone have suggestions for opening .mp4 files ? We're running MC 5.5 on a
MacbookPro.
btw- in the file structure on the drive the actual clips are preceded by 543
- don't know if that's an indication of the actual camera ???
FWIW -downloading & installing the P2 AMA plug in for Panasonic was a
breeze, but we're stuck on this sony .mp4
Thanks
