Hi raphael thanks for answering, the clips wherent re-captured on this computer, as i dont have hardware to capture super8 or hi8, so i have new video files that dont match the original edit ( they dont start and end at the same exact moment,they dont have the same duration )

the question is how do i roll them into place?or is this posible?

Thank you

Hi Steve thanks for taking the time, i actually tried taking out the drives and testing them on another Lacie box (exactly the same) and it did the same thing..it didnt mount, ive been doing lots of tests to try and recover that info but ive got to the point i either pay to get it done profe$ionaly or recapture and try to scrubb it into place somehow…

Regards Dave

Hey dennis sorry for not answering i actually didnt see your post!, i think the raid controller is in the Lacie box and ive tried 2 boxes exactly the same in 3 diferent computers i even tried to mount the drives separately but when the data was extracted it was corrupt..ive tried many data recovery aps but the only one that actually lets me see the actual directorys i need is data rescue II but as i said the files when recovered are corrupt 🙁

Saludos Dave

Wow that was a fast answer!hmm thats what i thought,nothing worse than redoing finished work :(, ill try and backup this time even if i have to backup like 1.2 TB of dv pal footage..thanks a lot for answering i apreciate it, im just going to bang my head violently against the wall for a while, i might feel better 😉

Thank You all best regards David Mosquera

Hey Walter thanks for taking the time to answer,i cant batch capture because the footage that was lost was HI8 VHC and super8 footage thats been captured somewhere else ( i dont have the hardware to capture this..)and…how does the batch capture reconect the footage exactly to its place if the video file isnt going to have the exact same duration?..or is it? meaning: the second time the file is captured it isnt going to have the same amount of black at the begining or end..and therefor wont match the first edit..hope im explaining myself, Thanks again

Thanks for answering john, the problem with my drive is that it is a La Cie 2 500gb drive on Raid,both drives work, they just dont mount… and when i extract data from them its corrupt…now im recapturing the material and looking for a easy way to reconect the files and adjust them back to place somehow,i would re edit again if it wasnt like 6-7 hours of edited sequences that will be lost Ouch! just crossing my fingers for a Guru to come by and save my ass :S

Thank you anyways john reagards David Mosquera

Hello ive been trying this tecnique and it works!the only thing is you have to select only the audio tracks and have the timeline marker at the begining of the edit then drag it to overwrite with transition and voila!

Great timesaver thank you Stace Carter!!

Hey danny actually i did try to do it as a dvd iso file and i know it played but there was a problem i cant remember now, probably little image jumps, ( i tried so many thing i can hardly remember what was the problem with that)but most of the times it either didnt have enough quality or it jittered as when you try to play a video and the machine cant manage so much data at the same time and it starts stuttering…

anyways using your hard drive as storage,dont you have problems with files larger than 4gb,i think most multimedia hard drives have to be in FAT32 file system that doesnt allow files larger than 4gb( at least mine works that way..)

thanks for the suggestion!

Hey Daniel, ive tried compressor again with program stream and got much better results than before , but for some reason when i send it to the usb hard drive first the sound wasnt sincronized,then i used ac3 as you suggested and the sound was ok but the image jitters at some points, im starting to think this multimedia drive is a piece of junk…i think ill stick to mpeg1, thanks again!
