TCXD300 Live Clips Missing

[PeakAction]

Hi All,

This happened to me after working a live event last night with my TCXD300. I recorded a two-hour event to disc. Everything went smoothly, the files were saved to disc, etc., and I shut down the TC and went home. Today, when I started the TC and tried to work on the session, the files were gone, as well as the entire project directory. It was like it never existed, save for one defunct shortcut to one of the files that I found when I did a search of the machine.

I have no idea why this happened. Have I really lost the entire show? I verified that the clips were there last night before I shut down, and now they are nowhere. Help?

TIA,

Darren

What about your backup recording is it okay?

I have seen a sporadic issue with clips not showing up in the DDR but not clips that are just not there on the hard drive somewhere. Did you look in Windows also at the media drive under clips/"sessionname"/capture?

Or how about a windows search for .mpg?

Files recorded in a TCXD300 session would normally be found afterward in D:\Media\Clips\session_name\Capture. If they're missing, there's something very weird going on.

Yeah, the files are nowhere on the system. They are truly gone. I'm confounded. The original project folder isn't even there...

It seems inconceivable, Darren, that both the clips AND the folder are gone without someone doing it to you.

I know, that's what has me so confused. I finished the event, shut down the machine, then no-one touched it until I powered it up the next day. The only thing that happened that was "out of the ordinary" was that before I tried to load the project, I registered the TC, as it had not yet been registered. But, I certainly don't see how registering it would delete any files. That makes less sense than anything, so... Still confused.
