Thanks! Alas I am across the pond. But encouraged by the response.

I have a documentary done in MC 11 (believe it or not) on a pc. It's a meridian system with the old striped SCSI drives. The project has languished for enough years that either the meridian or the board has gone south. I would like to migrate the project AND media files into a more current system on a mac. Recapturing is a most undesirable option as much of the footage has terrible timecode issues making recapture VERY difficult. I have saved the project files, but since I can't boot up the Media Composer without the meridian, I can't transcode or consolidation or export. So am wondering if I can copy the striped avid media files (OMF, I'm 99% sure) to a fw drive (or two) and think that it will read in 6.0 on a mac? If so, since the files were on striped drives, do I need to do anything special to the folders or files? Is there a better way to handle this, including the possibility of somehow locating a meridian board or hardware? (Other than migrating the files years ago, of course) Are there issues I will encounter?
