Sorry to hear about Larry, a name I knew from these forums ;(
Avid - please help;
---- No compressed data format found for specified vcid and video format ----
I have not used Avid in a couple of weeks. The PC has not been switched off. I have however unplugged a USB drive but the two projects I cannot open should not have had anything on there related to the projects getting this message.
Both projects were linked VIA AMA... one of the projects I had transcoded most of the footage and been editing with the transcoded content and using the AMA footage as reference in my bins. The otehr rject was finished (edited via AMA and mixed down) I just went back in to make a couple of changes.
In all instances everythings eems tyo be gone. No mixdowns, no playing of video.
In one project I can see thumbnails but nothing plays (not sure if they are transcoded thumbnails or AMA thumbnails - not had time to investigate properly).
I have searched a lot online and seen various posts about this error but seemingly not one resolution.
I need help Avid.. this is serious! Two very big projects.. both late deadline. I can't be doing with this!
Thanks
