i have been using avid for years and i never came across this error message... What do i do to correct it...
MSM indicates problems with the media database, so rebuild it. But first, make sure you are following the Media Folder Management ground rules:
1) The "Avid MediaFiles" folder (for MXF media) and the "OMFI MediaFiles" folder (for OMF media if you have any) MUST reside at the root level of the media drive, never inside any other folders or the system will not find the media.
2) The folder names must always be the exact factory default names listed above (minus the quotes) or the system will not find the media.
3) There can be only one of each folder type on any given media drive.
To rebuild the media database, quit the application. Then, from each numerical folder inside the MXF folder inside the Avid MediaFiles folder, delete the two files that identify by type as "MSM Media Database" also identified as "msmFMID.pmr" and "msmMMOB.mdb" . If you have an OMFI MediaFiles folder, delete the same two files. On re-launch, the system will detect the missing files and build new ones at the "Initializing Media Streams Manager" stage. You will see the system go into a scanning and indexing mode at this point.
