Re: [Avid-L2] Re: ISO advise on migrating an old project

The project may or may not open directly, but the bin file should open into
a new project.

I believe OMFI media still needs to be in the OMFI MediaFiles directory on
the root of the drive, I don't think MC will look for it in the Avid
MediaFiles directory.

I've certainly moved projects from MC 11 up to version 3.5.
