OMF / MXF player anyone?

[Ervin Tia]

try VLC.

You could try to use MediaSift and/or MDV. They won’t play the media, but they will show the media’s project association, so you will know which media belongs to which project.
Other than that, MC Soft is a great player for OMF/MXF files 😉

If you have “Avid on board” you can use the Media Tool in frame mode to view and delete clips.

Do you have a link to MC Soft? Can’t find it.

Thanks for suggestions guys …
can’t find out too much about MC Soft …. presuming its a Media Composer lite type of programme?
VLC has the odd habit of playing some OMF files perfectly well .. the majority tho, it’ll play for a frame or two and then minimise as if it’s an audio track I’m trying to play …. media tool, “frame view” gives me a series of static black frames .. if there’s a play button there I can’t find it….

Think I’m gonna bite the bullet and delete these media files from the C drive … even if I can identify what they are, is there a way of linking them to a new project?

You should consider copying the entire folder structure to a suitable external media drive. Then you could delete from C Drive and try to relink to new media drive.

There is no MC lite, only Avid DV, Xpress Pro, and MC (and briefly FreeDV).

“MC Soft” is just an abbreviation for Avid Media Composer with no Adrenaline/Mojo/Nitris/DX acceleration M(edia) C(omposer) Soft(ware only). From the sound of it you already have that.

If you’re on Windows or Wine, you could try these guys out:

By MC Soft, I mean Avid MediaComposer Software. In its Media Tool, you can browse through all available media.
