Good to see that you though about assigning a new Media Type, though...

I don't know phpMyAdmin, but using the MySQL client, an SQL command like
'update Media set MediaType="FileVM" where VolumeName in
("Name-0001","Name-0002",...);' should work.
Instead of referring to VolumeName, you could also use the MediaId, and
instead of using 'in (...)' you can also reference single volumes with
'where VolumeName="Name-0001"' or use the like operator with wildcards.
