Media Info just gives me the name and size of the audio file.

The files I have are in this format:

filename-00.00.27.03-A1

filename-00.00.27.03-A2

filename-00.00.27.03-V-LL

Media Info shows the V-LL file as having a format and codec of 601N with a size 8.59 GB

Media Info does not show any other information about the A1/A2 files except for a name and size.

The finder shows the A1/A2 files as being 72.5 MB

I have QT7 and M100 Suite 2.1.8 installed on an old Mac Pro. I can open the V-LL file in Quicktime and in M100, but I cannot open the A1/A2 files in either of these. I’ve also tried opening the audio files in other programs like Audacity and Adobe Media Encoder; however nothing recognizes the Audio files.

My goal is to transcode these files to a format that I can use in Premiere Pro.

I have a similar problem. I have some old M100 files I need to resurrect. I copied them from the original RAID drive to an old Mac Pro G5 running OS 10.4. I am able to play the Lossless video files on the newer machine in QT7 but I cannot get anything to recognize the audio files. All the files were copied at the same time and the files appear to be intact. I have tried changing the file extensions and tried various programs but nothing works. It seems odd that the video files would be readable but not the audio files. And this is consistent behavior over many files, not just one or two.

You may want to make sure you have the latest firmware installed for that burner. Does your system see the burner? If not, you may need to install patchburn (do a google search). I burn DL discs out of DVDSP3 and with Toast 6 on my G4. You might want to make sure you’re running the latest version of Toast 6 as well. I have found that DL media is critical. I’ve had very consistent results with Verbatim ink jet printable DL media and bad results with RiData media. Test your workflow thoroughly before buying a large quantity of media. You have to have the right media for your software and burner – once you find a combination that works, stick with it.
