  Problem relinking media. please help

  Posted by Winston Wangle on September 1, 2008 at 10:44 pm

  A client has asked me to swap out a drive containing a large amount of the media they have been working with, replacing it with another drive containing the a copy of the media.
  Is there a way for me to locate all the offline media then relink it in one go? or do i have to go through bin by bin?
  please let me know the best way of doing this.
  thanks

  As long as its an exact copy of the drive, you shouldn’t have to releink anything. I’d delete the 2 media database files (.msm and .mdb, I believe) and Avid should rebuild and relocate all the files.
