Unknown file type mp4 when importing in Framemaker 2019

I have a number of videos, both MP4 and FLV, that I want to import into a Framemaker 2019 file. Every time, regardless of the selected format, I get an Unknown File Type box that asks me to convert from the format of the file I've selected (e.g., if I import MP4, it asks me to convert from MP4, same with FLV). How do I import without converting? Since Flash player is going EOL, I need to use MP4 so that customers will be able to view these videos in the PDF output without depending on Flash.

    Have you all updates installed?

    Are you merely using File->Import File into an anchored frame?
