Hmm.
Random does not mean a guarantee for no duplicates.
And, Avid reconnects based on metadata in the file. This is NOT fcp (that
has really strange relinking strategies...)
Otherwise there is also file location, timecode and file size to relink.
(You can't have two files with identical names in one directory.)
Not sure about P2 and EX, but XDcamHD has C000X.mxf as filenames, unless you
want to customize them yourself...
