[HELP] Trouble reading Pointer file in MXF type file

[3pointedit]

Problem seems to be that the mov contains pointers like:
default:VibrintAVFiles2 News Ingest:camb_730_Mackay2_2002(1).vmf:video.vid
which seems like ffmpeg can't handle.
For each stream one gets, something like:

[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 00000241a587c040] Opening 'video.vid' for reading
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 00000241a587c040] stream 0, error opening alias: path='/VibrintAVFiles/P2 News Ingest/camb_730_Mackay2_2002(1).vmf/video.vid',
dir='camb_730_Mackay2_2002(1).vmf', filename='video.vid', volume='default', nlvl_from=1, nlvl_to=1

so the question is whether there are some additional options in your Grass Valley tool to create these files?

No they are specific references to the original path. We had to copy them out to a Final Cut Pro edit suite and use them as local media. The MXF plugin for FCP loaded the clip and ignored the original path data.
Its odd too, because when I used ffmpeg earlier I was able to parse the .mov ok. This embedded path wasn't an issue and the files certainly were not in that location when I transcoded them.
The alias file it's looking for is that pointer file... does _drefs cause ffmpeg to ignore this data?
