We were visiting a customer last week who had not updated their Media
Composer software for quite some time, since their Media Composers were
not connected to the Internet. The good news is you don't have to have
your Media Composer online to get the latest software. If you have a
valid Support Contract and have registered with the Avid Download Center,
you can download your software on any Internet-connected computer.
Just save the software to a thumb drive, pop it into your edit system
and install the updates.
If you're a Government customer and you don't have a thumb drive, I can
help with that too! I have shiny new 1GB Avid thumb drives for the
first 40 next 22 government customers who send me a message including their
name, government email address and government mailing address.
