Converting Raw DV to... Avid?

Hey guys,

I have about 20 minutes of footage on an FS-100 in the Raw DV (<name>.dv) format, and I need to get it into Avid Xpress Pro. Of course just importing the files yields the "What Codec Is This!?" blank white video for all the clips.

I found a DV File Converter program from Focus, which I assumed would work since they also make the FS-100. I converted the files using this program (the demo version, but I don't see any restrictions) to P2 formatted .mxf files, but upon loading them into Avid I get the video with a very heavy digital 'block' distortion.

So how on earth do I get a raw DV file into Avid when not even the conversion program from the makers of the hard drive can properly convert the image?
 
I suspect they need to be into AVI or MOV whichever you are on Mac or PC. Then use the DV or the Avid codec. This should be done on the same system the Avid is installed on.

You can always play the raw DV files from the FS-100 and capture them in whatever format you like.
