  • Mezzo does not backup media

    Posted by Mark Adamcik on August 5, 2005 at 5:44 pm

    Update Mezzo 3.7 installed on our Avid 2.0.2 Xpress (Mac OS8.1 Powermac). BUT, Mezzo does NOT backup the media files (they are shown as ‘missing’), it does backup the project & bins. Mezzo does not seem to ‘see’ the media drives. Am I overlooking a Mezzo setting? How can I get Mezzo to backup the media? Older version of Mezzo worked just fine, until it started crashing the system and I can’t re-install the older version. I know the system is old, but it still gets a lot of use. Thanks.

    Does it support MXF MediaFiles? Are you capturing as OMF?

    I had an incorrect setting. From the Options menu go to System scanner set to ‘Media Composer 7 or Greater’ and relaunch Mezzo. The thing that makes no sense is that I’m using Xpress 2.0 and so I wrongly heeded the warning ‘for Media Composer 7 or Greater ONLY’ on this setting!
    The answer came from mvegas at the Avid forum for Mac Xpress.
    Thank you for your help.
