"I have a ton of old mxf files from my old editing system I would like to be able to pull into Media Composer. I can't open them up or import them directly into bins. They are all spread out onto different external harddrives. I just am running Media Composer 6. Any suggestions?" You try to edit the MXF footages in Avid Media Composer, however, you also will meet the problem above thet all you get are passive messages like "Unable to link to any clips at Volume…", "Problems detected in file CLIP.BIN"…. Why does it happen? It results from the incompatibility between MXF file format and Avid MC. Thus, to convert MXF files to Avid MC acceptable file format like H.264, Xvid or MPEG-2 is needed.
