Thanks Marianna. This is what I'm using to create the soft links. If you scroll down, you can see some pictures showing how it works. I tested it again and it's consistent: MC doesn't like a linked to '_bg.1' folder. If I quit MC and re-launch it, MC updates the 'msmFMID.pmr' and the 'msmMMOB.mdb' file picking up

I think I've got to the bottom of the problem. I create a '\Avid MediaFiles\MXF' folder on my main media drive. For each project, which resides in its own folder, the '1' folder is soft linked to the media folder on the top level. It looks like this: \PROJECT-NAME\...\Avid MediaFiles\MXF\1 -> \Avid MediaFiles\MXF\1 When MC reads

Thanks for those tests. I'm not sure what's happening with my setup. I'm going to run a few more tests.

Could anyone possible do a quick test to see if you get the same issue? All you need to do is a transcode a file in the background. You''ll need to do it twice if you haven't already got a '_bg.1' folder to see if the 'msmMMOB.mdb' and 'msmFMID.pmr' files update the second time around. Thanks

No worries, Marianna. It could be because I dragged & dropped a picture straight into the post. That picture is now missing from the original post but I'll sort that out.

Just wondering what was up with it because I got a message saying it would have to be approved. Transcoding - dangerous subject!

This happens when transcoding in the background only. It's not dependent on media type either or any transcode settings. After a background transcode, I get a "media offline" message when trying to play the newly transcoded media. If I look in the '_bg.1' folder, the media is actually there. The MXF files play fine using an external

Found it... File -> Settings -> User -> Bin View

I created some custom bin views but I can't find how to delete them. Can they can be deleted?
