[Avid-L2] Slow Import Vista 64 / Media Composer

I have seen this issue before from time to time. Even dating back to XP / Composer installs.

When importing material (audio, quicktimes, stills) from networked volumes which OS mounts as regular windows shared volumes, it takes a while before the import actually begins. The whole system hangs before the Avid presents the progress bar and starts bringing in the files.

Now I am pretty sure this has to do with a change we made to allow Vista to mount removable volumes and read only volumes properly. This prevents them from being seen a regular drives like your internal HD. Many problems are averted this way.

HOWEVER, has anyone been dealing with this lately? A fix? This does coincide with our install of 4.x Composers but we also upgraded our Terrablock at the same time.

The Window shares ARE NOT terrablock volumes. They just live on a Gigabit Enet server like they have always.
