Crazy PT problem. Any ideas?

[rainsinvelvet]

I'm STUCK!

(working on PTHD3 system)

We are recording OD's. No problems... Then after pressing STOP at the end of an OD we get a message " could not record because of error -36 something or other"..
Ok, no biggie right?

So I close the session and try to open it back up. Here is the BIG problem.

When trying to open the session I get this message " could not open because session was created on an older version of pro tools" WTF!??!

I then looked in my audio files folder. There are a bunch of Wav files and one Quicktime file !?!! The quicktime file is the track I just recorded that crashed PT..

The only way I can open the session is to go to my session recovery folder and open the one right before the problem.. I then tried "save session as", but then after re-opening the saved, recovered session I get the same problem.

Help anyone? This is crazy..

Run Disk Utility, trash the prefs, retry.

I would try recovering the session from the backup (as you previously did) and then copy the session using the "Save Copy In" command in the File menu.

You can also make a new session and use the "Import Session Data" command to import all of the data from the corrupted session.

Hope this helps,

if that doesnt work, use the import sesion data function an re create your session. just dont import that last track.
i also just had a weird problem and that was the only solution. pretty painless process.

good luck

Hmm. Ok.
I did trash the cache for the session, but that didn't help.

I'll try the disk utility.

Any ideas why PT would all of a sudden record a track in a quicktime format instead of the .WAV file format? I think this has something to do with this odd problem-
