corrupt .mdb (database) file

[Brent Marginet]

Ok once and for all, save some cash and don’t waste you time trying or purchasing any third party software.

Do as was suggested in the previous posts.
First quit Avid then go to the Avid MediaFiles/MXF Folder, you will find on or more numbered folders.

Look for and delete all of the msmFMID.pmr and msmMMOB.mdb files that exist.
Once this is done start up Avid and it will rebuild all of its databases itself.
This can take a bit of time but Avid does it PROPERLY while most third party software does not and it’s FREE.

Avid built this feature into MC at least twenty years ago for a reason.
No one can afford to have media go offline and so that’s why it builds it’s own databases and has a built in automatic database rebuild tool.
I just wish they’d do something about that brutal feature they call AMA Linking and it’s constant loss of linking to media.

\”MY MEDIA/PROJECT MOTO: If you think three copies of your media or project are enough.
Take a moment to place a value on them and then maybe add two more.
Hard Drives are now stupidly cheap. A RE-SHOOT AND YOUR TIME AREN\’T.\”
