If you are referring to me Bob, I actually haven’t responded because I wasn’t getting notifications about follow-up posts. And you did write the article on building your own affordable SAN. You actually mention using Avid codecs in part of it, yet in response to my question you insist it can’t be done with Avid clients. As far as spending the money, I don’t know where you work, but some of us don’t have a silver spoon in their mouth. We simply can’t afford or acquire the funding to do it the way it should be done, so rather than giving up, we attempt to find an alternate method. Just so you know, the MetaLAN software you talked about in your article will indeed work with Avid Clients. A media directory refresh is required to see any new media captured on other systems but for the price point and shops that are not working on 20 projects at a time, this seems to work just fine. And for DV25 footage, a single GigE connection to the host computer will work just fine.

Thanks for the help. After your post I rebuilt the media database and tried the media tool again. It finally worked. The database must have been stuck. Thanks again.

Thanks. I tried that before my post but it kept coming up without any files. So I deleted some manually and Avid rebuilt the database. After that I tried again and it seemed to work no problem. The database must have been stuck or something. Thanks for your help.
