So last night I fired up MC8 to try to start testing workflow. And I was greeted with the " No Media can be written to any mounted drive. Please check write permissions" error. MC wasn't seeing ANY of my connected drives available to be used. For two hours I scoured the net looking for solutions. I found some info on how to set drive permissions on the root drive. I did this and fortunately, that drive showed up in MC. But nothing else did.
Finally, I found an article that proved to be the silver bullet.
Putting an AVID Mediafiles/MXF/1 folder on all drives solved the issue. Literally just creating it on each drive was enough.
I jumped to MC at version 4. Quickly moved to 5, and bought 6 but never installed it. All of that was on Windows (what we have at the office). At home I am on an iMac. So maybe this is all old hat to your Macintosh folks. Frankly, I feel this was very poor. It was frustrating and totally unnecessary. If the mediafiles folder doesn't appear on a volume, and it's necessary for Avid to have it, then there should be an option to create it, either at install, or during program launch.
I post this here in the hopes that it helps someone else who might need this information.
