So today is a new day and I went back to ama link the reels that gave me the producer task error and WTF they loaded and would appear in the source monitor. Then after loading the forth reel volume the producer task error came back. I still loaded all the reels as ama volumes and gave them the appropriate tape name and the entire sequence showed it was linked. When I went to transcode the sequence the producer task error reappeared on the first clip and stopped the transcode without a crash.
I restarted the Avid and remounted all the volumes giving each a reel name and setting the source setting to camera metadata. I made sure to turn of viewing in the sequence and I never once loaded any clips in the source monitor. I refreshed the source settings on all the sequence versions and relinked them all. I then hit transcode and it started transcoding without an error. It's on clip 8 of 555 and because of disk space I choose DNX 145 for the test but so far so good.
I can only speculate that some how the Producer Task error gets generated from some aspect of displaying the clips and the more clips the more likely this happens. Also these folder are usually one clip that is over an hour. Some have a few short clips and an hour plus one. If I close the bins and reopen them things are okay and everything sticks but if I quit Avid and start up again reopening the bins shows the clips without the ama link icon, at least for the hour plus clips, and the clips show as offline. So each time Avid is restarted I have to remount the ama volumes and go through the renaming ext... This is on SNDX 6.0.4 OS 10.6.8 macpro 8 core with 14 GB or ram. Hopefully the transcode will complete successfully.
