The mixdown approach appears to be a common, and usually quickest, way to solve the QT ref problem. I'd guess there is something in the metadata somewhere that still thinks it's pointing to ama media or something other than the same codec as the rest of the sequence. Hence no QT ref with varying codecs. That is why the mixdown eliminates the problem because the mixdown is all one codec.

Maybe something got corrupted or maybe there was some kind of lingering metadata that somehow linked the footage back to the original AMA rather than the transcoded footage. We still have no idea why this happened. We had to do a mixdown of the sequence in order to burn a DVD. May never know why this happened.
