Re: [Avid-L2] Tapeless Reality Check - clip names "00000".

My experience with XDCAM EX is that the source folder name is the
equivalent to tape inside Media Composer. I've had trouble relinking were I
had more that one folder containig XDCAM files mamed Card_1, Card_2, etc.
When relinking if the TC matched, MC relinked to the first clip it found
with that "TapeName".
Now, before AMA linking I check that the directory name of the card is
unique DATE_Card01, Date_Card02, for example and everything relinks just
fine.
