Thanks Jon. Yes, that seems to be the consensus. Though occasionally I see someone posting that it can be done, it usually ends up that they’re misusing the term ‘cloning’, and just offering an exact dub without regard to timecode.

Hmmm, it poses an interesting dilemma: save money by splitting the clones onto mini-DV – thus possibly wrecking some encoded takes by splitting them onto two tapes, or doing it right – thus wrecking my budget… Guess that’s why they call it ‘pro-sumer’.

Thanks again.

Thank you so much Randy for taking the time to share your information! I had suspected that a couple of these suggestions would work (and were actually helping when I tried them) but – being a new user – I also thought I might just be crazy. These will be invaluable bits of advice in the future.

I was, in fact, able to find an autosave file (oddly, none of them were corrupted), and wondered whether they too could refuse to open. Thanks again.

Randy,
This just happened to me, too. And on a large and important project. Were you ever able to figure out:
a) what this error was
b) how to get your project back
c) the cause and prevention
Thanks,
