Re: [Avid-L2] Help! MC 8.4 Media Drive Scanning Problem

 

Divide and conquer.
Place half of the media in folder "1" and the other half in folder "3" (since you already have "2"). Keep splitting until you find the offending file or files.

I've got a situation in which MC is freezing upon the scanning and indexing of new media drives.

More specifically, the project was created here in Los Angeles. A copy of all five numbered MXF folders of media was made and sent to Moscow for use by the director. But when he launches MC, and Composer sets in to scan and index the drives now connected to his system, it gets about nine seconds into scanning folder '1', and then just stops. The progress bar stops, and everything just sits there.

I had him take the number 1 folder out of the Avid MediaFiles folder (out of 'MXF', etc.), and place it in a holding folder outside of 'Avid MediaFiles', and then launch again. This time the scan began with numbered folder '2' and successfully completed the scan.

So what I'm assuming is that there is a corrupt MXF file somewhere in folder '1'. The question is, what's the best way to ferret it out? Is there any way — other than systematically removing batches of files at a time and trying to rescan — to filter for corrupt MXFs in a given folder?

Thanks,
