Backup is the only way to prepare for a file corruption. If the Kernal Panic doesn’t happen except when this particular project file is opened, then I’d suggest that it’s trash…
That said, there is an automatic backup happening if your client’s not turned it off. There should be a backup in his Autosave folder found by seeing where it’s set to be in his scratch disk settings. Might try one of the backups. If this doesn’t fix him up, post back.
Media files are really huge and most of us just don’t back them up…. project files, or other media that doesn’t have timecode attached to it should be backed up like PSD files, or other computer generated files… just remember to keep those tapes in case…

Probably…. you are having to render because you are adding filters or effects though right?

Tell me more about your setup. You have more than one drive involved? you want to rebuild your startup disk or media disk? Post what your system software is too.. Maybe another way to clean up your drive would involve an archive and install of system software which would leave your data alone…

I don’t backup media, but do backup the project files on a CD or flash drive… Media can be recaptured from those project files if need be.
There are redundant RAID solutions for media drives that would keep them up and running… like a Huge systems array in a RAID 3 configuration. What happens is if a drive fails, you can rebuild the array by replacing it and won’t lose any data.

You are mistaken. The quality of the render will be the quality of the resulting QT movies.

You should be able to put the QT movies in the Viewer, then de select the tracks in the timeline you don’t want to edit in… just click on the track selection buttons you don’t want to edit and they’ll pull away from the tracks in the timeline window.

Try recording the file back to HDV. Then recapture AS DV… then import that into DVD SP and encode.
