[Avid-L2] OT:Re: X-code error: Failed to get the number of contiguous bytes from the

 

Okay it's become abundantly clear to me there is a need for an AMA self help group. How many lives and projects been ruined because of broken links? How many of us have found loved ones media hidden around the desktop and behind the couch after they swore they were "Clean off of all non tape based media." I've even seen the local Crack dealers offering media in dime bags on the street corner. And lets not forget those late night transcode binges that end in an abort and once again we find ourselves up all night hearing the birds chirping in the morning

I want to stand in front of a group and proclaim, "My name is John and I haven't Transoded or linked AMA in 24 hours." Heck I even used an EDL last night, now thats progress not perfection! We can all do this together one project at a time.

I'm torn between AMA Anonymous ,Tapeless Anonymous or Transcoding Tweaker Anonymous. Hmmmmmm
