RE: [Avid-L2] Relink AMA

Greg

as I understand it the AMA link is created as a function of the UNC path at which the virtual volume is found.

If, for whatever reason, the relationship between the editing computer and the disk on which the virtual volumes is changed, the UNC path will change. In this instance the AMA link will be broken, but as you say the media is found again as soon as you go throught the link to AMA process again on the file menu.

No, not frequent enough to really be a pain. And it's simple enough
to re-establish the link, unless you have a month's worth of 'virtual
cards.' That takes a while to re-ama all those, even as fast as that
process is.

I'm not sure it's a 'bug' yet - possibly just a dark spot in my
understanding...
