I did what you suggested, which was have Avid create a new MXF/1 folder - I also checked the permissions on both files and folders and there was read/write access for both. Here are two new pieces of info that might be of help. There are files that are offline and wont relink and then there are files that are considered offline but have audio present but not video. When I choose "reveal file" I see two highlighted MXF files in the folder (I am assuming one is audio and the other is video) - why then can't I relink the video?

Hi Michael, after trashing the databases and upon starting avid do you see the Scanning process happening before you get to the projects dialog? Do you see the avid scanning for media at all or does it just give you the error. The reason i ask is because in your original post you say you created a new MXF folder - do you mean you actually said new>folder and called it MXF and placed it in the right place? Because i have had trouble with this method, that's why i suggested making a new title so that the Avid creates the Avidmediafiles folder rather than you doing it manually, it seems, in my experience, to have trouble seeing manually created Avidmediafiles folders but not with ones it creates itself. If you are not seeing a scanning process then it looks like it's not reading the Avidmediafiles folder. Just a guess though, could well be some permissions problem as suggested by others. Let us know how you get on,
Cheers,
Andi

Andi, I did trash the database files before I started MC. I actually did that almost every time I added files and restarted the program. Still had the same issue and error message.

Are there database files in there - they are called msmFMID.pmr and msmMMOB.mdb. If so, delete them and let Avid recreate and rescan the directory. If they aren't in there then try this; open a project, doesn't matter what, and create a title. Save it to the workspace you wish to place your media in. Avid will automatically create an AvidMediafiles folder with the correct file structure. Now drag your media files into the Avid-created MXF folder and rescan. Give it a shot and let us know.
Cheers,
Andi

Hi all,
This is my first post although I have been following over the past year or so and have learned tons from everyone - so thanks! Now I have an issue that I haven't been able to figure out myself and would like to see what you guys & gals come up with.
I just moved all my media & projects from my PC with MC 3 to my brand new imac with MC 5.5. Unfortunately many of the files that were in the MXF folder are not appearing. I read up on the issue and some say it is due to acap on files in the MXF folder or a corrupted render file. I created a new MXF and made sure I was under 3000 files I also put in only media files - no renders. Still nothing - even though I know that the media files I need are there. When I try to relink, I get the following message:
An error occurred loading database.
/volumes/Macintosh HD/Avid Media Files/MXF/1/
Any thoughts or similar experiences? Many thanks!
-Michael
