Musings of an Idiot

29 Hours Later

Well - the project is up and running again - thanks to Benji's persistence and thinking outside the box. Instead of the original 10 hours that I had estimated - the recovery has taken 29 hours odd. The thing I am thrilled about is that the project is safe and I think I will still hit the deadline for tomorrow's cast screening and also mail off the festival screener.

As to how Benji saved the project - it has a lot to do with how Windows and Mac reads different file systems and working around it. The main thing that came out of this incident is that NTFS system is a bit too secure for it's own good and doesn't exactly bode well for editing projects where the work flow involves sharing the media and working on the project on different systems.

Anyway - back to work - encoding the mpeg file, so I can then use it for authoring a DVD.
Adios,
Amit
