Please help - Invalid project file.

Hi,
Was about 90% done on a major DVD project when DVD studio Pro 4 crashed.
When I try to reopen the file it says "invalid project file".
Although I have all of the assets and could rebuild I was in the process of adding subtitles manually and really need to get them back if possible (I was about 2 hours into a 2 1/4 hour film and was typing them in seperately.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Hi - welcome to the discussions.
I hat to be the one to tell you this, but I would almost certainly guarantee that project is lost, I'm afraid.
There are a couple of things you can try to get this back - repair disk permissions, trash preferences and so on - but you could also look inside the project file (control+click on it and 'show package contents') for anything that you can salvage. With luck, repairing permissions or even re-starting your machine will get you back to be able to open the project, but I wouldn't want to build your hopes.
DVDSP does have the ability to let you type subs directly in to it, but whenever you do it is very difficult to get them out and use them elsewhere without a lot of additional work. For that reason alone most folk will create the subs in an external application and import them to DVDSP when done. That way they are always accessible, easily editable and most important, they are portable between projects or even between tracks within a project. I strongly recommend that you use a dedicated subtitle app, like STLEdit or even a basic text editor (or better, BBEdit).

  • Please Help, Missing Project File and Discussion Advice Isn't Working.

    Here's the rundown:
    I was working in iMovie HD 5 when the power got cut out on my external hard drive. When I try to reload my project I got the 'Missing Project File' error that has been discussed by many on this board.
    There are two known fixes.
    1) Open the package and go back to the '~' version of the project.
    2) Use the MovieTimeline.mov in the Cache to import it back into a new project.
    Solution #1 simply didn't work.
    Solution #2 imports the full video as a single long clip but is significantly lower in quality than the original version.
    In addition, the movie was shot in true widescreen and plays in quicktime in 16:9 mode, but when I import that .mov file into iMovie HD for some reason bars are added on the sides and top and bottom of the frame, and the bars are thicker on the sides so it stretches the picture and makes everything look taller.
    Although I'd certainly much rather have my original project timeline back, I could still continue my work if I could figure out how to import the .mov so that it retains the quality and size that it had to begin with.
    Does anyone have any idea how to import it without losing the quality and size or how to gain back an earlier project save?
    Please help if you can, my grandfather's 83rd birthday gala celebration (2 days away!) depends on it!

    I know you're in a rush, so I'll mention a couple other possibilities.
    Solution #2 imports the full video as a single long
    clip but is significantly lower in quality than the
    original version.
    • You shouldn't see any difference. The video imported from the Timeline Movie.mov is exactly the same as the original video. My guess is you're seeing some side effect of the widescreen issue. That, or your iMovie playback settings have changed.
    In addition, the movie was shot in true widescreen
    and plays in quicktime in 16:9 mode, but when I
    import that .mov file into iMovie HD for some reason
    bars are added on the sides and top and bottom of the
    frame, and the bars are thicker on the sides so it
    stretches the picture and makes everything look
    taller.
    • Make sure you're importing to a DV Widescreen project.
    • It might work to open the Timeline Movie.mov in QT Player Pro and export to a DV stream set to 16:9, then import that to the new project.
    • It's curious solution #1 didn't work. What happened when you tried that?

  • "Invalid Project File" when I try to open my work! HELP!

    When I try to open my .ncor project file (eithe with Encore 5 or 5.1), I get "Invalid Project File" pop-up box.
    Why? What is wrong? There are only menus and buttons in the project!
    All hard drive are connected. Using Windows 7 Pro (will switch to Mac very soon!!).
    Never had a problem before. Until now.
    Any suggestion???

    I closed En and went to lunch. When I tried opening my project an hour later, I recieved the error.
    Trying to move project folders into a new En project structure prompted the same error.

  • Error message: Error loading Project _ Invalid project file format

    This monring I open dvdsp project and it happen frozen. It became not responding. So I had to force quit. Now I can't open project file. The error message said "Error loading Project _ Invalid project file format". What should I do?

    This isn't quite the same issue, but close enough that it must be related:
    I was working on a project this morning, added a ton of subtitles and tweaked a jpeg menu (in photoshop). Saved it, closed it down without any issues, and now it won't open. The "Loading Project" box gets 1/4 of the way along and freezes on "Loading Tracks". In Activity Monitor the DSPX_Encoder services are not frozen, although not actually using any CPU power.
    Needless to say I don't have a backup...... and I thought that I had achieved a lot this morning.
    Solutions attempted so far:
    Disconnected the external hard drive with all the assets in the hope that I could isolate a dodgy file. Masde no difference, so the problem must be within the project file itself.
    Anything else to be done??

  • Invalid Project File

    Lately when I make a blu-ray project, save and quit the software, I will attempt to re-open the project only to get an INVAILD PROJECT FILE error. The software does not crash, it stays open, and wants me to pick another project (presumably a "valid" project), but my original project is apparently toast.
    Why is this happening?
    I'm on XP PRO sp2

    I'm having same problem with 1.5 error 45013 Invalid Project File...did you ever figure out what to do to rescue it or did you have to re-create it?

  • Invalid Project File - after power loss

    Working a client DVD project, 30 disc's to burn. Encore project was finished and ready for builds. I had the project open, blank disc in drive, and my power blinked off and back on. After PC reboot the project wont open, Invalid Project File. It looks like the whole Encore project folder somehow got moved into the Premiere folder for the same project, it was not in that location before the power blink. All the Encore project folders look to be intact - Cache & Source items all there. I moved the whole Encore project file back to its previous location but still wont open, any ideas on how I can get it to open?
    Thanks,
    Donnie
    WIN7, CS5.

    Encore doesn't do autosaves. And won't do save as copy. Only Save-As.
    Wow; how unlucky can you get!
    Just curious; did you have a power backup on your system. I've had just enough issues (long ago now), that I won't work without one.
    Encore is very unforgiving when things get out of place. Also, projects, once corrupt, are hard to recover. The "do-over" is the only fix for many problems.
    What message do you get when you try to open it?
    I don't see how the whole folder structure could have been moved. We always have to allow for operator error, but also for those computer oddities that surprise and amaze us!
    The Encore project file itself is at the top of (outside) the Encore folder structure. Is that what you moved it to?

    As a happy user of the Matrox RT.X2 for many years, and later an equally happy user of a Matrox MXO2, I can say from experience that it is highly unlikely that this problem has anything to do with the Matrox hardware!
    Can you open a new blank project, and save it?
    If you cannot import your faulty project into a new project, can you import the sequence from your faulty project?
    Have you tried clearing the Media Cache, clearing your preferences, etc. - all among the techniques used to resurrect a Premiere Pro project that has gone bad???

  • Kernel panic/invalid node structure; please help retrieving my files!!

    Hi everyone, thank you for your time in advance... if anyone has ideas about how to solve it, I appreciate this very much!
    OK, here is how it began: while I was working on the airplane using PowerPoint, the gray spinning wheel appeared after which PowerPoint stopped working. I pressed the power button to exit (all applications froze). (So much for trying to get more work done...)
    Next, I powered up the computer but it would not boot up, with only gray spinning wheel showing.
    Next, tried to boot up while pressing power button and holding shift key. After some time (10 minutes), an error message appears. Researching it on discussion forums, I found that it is called “kernel panic”. Here is beginning of the message:
    panic(cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad): "Process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 8\n"@SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.15.3/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:3145
    Debugger called: <panic>
    [additional information here]
    Also, message “You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again” is shown transparently in the middle of the screen over the “panic” message output.
    I turned on and off the Power button many times, but I get the same error message.
    I also tried Apple Hardware Test but it did not work (it did not generate any messages).
    Next, I tried to use the Disk Utility using the Installation Disk that came with the computer. After I clicked “Disk Repair”, here is the log:
    Verify and Repair volume “Macintosh HD”

    “Disk Utility stopped repairing “Macintosh HD”
    Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your back-up files.
    I need to retrieve my recent files!! Please Help!! Argh!! I promise that I will promptly back up my files now! I did not use Time Machine, and only some of my files are backed up.
    From what I read on the discussion forum, I will probably need to erase the disk and then do a fresh installation, but could someone please guide me with regard to how to back up the data / retrieve the files? I may have access to another mac so I’m thinking that the FireWire Target Disk Mode may work. I also have spare external harddrive (formatted for mac) (not partitioned). Also, how do I retrieve the files from the other computer if the FireWire transfer works?
    Also, the second step is to do a new installation, but is there any reason why “Archive and Install” using Disk Utility won’t help? I have some additional programs installed (Illustrator, Photoshop) so this means if I do a new installation, I will need to re-install those as well?
    I did some investigation, and it looks like this problem is similar to this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18098343#18098343
    But my main issue now is to retrieve the files!
    Also, how do I investigate whether this problem is due to a failing hard drive or a natural file system corruption ? (so should I get a new harddrive or do a new install).

    don't forget to hit that green kudos
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've been really busy with work.. really really busy.. hopefully this week might start to get a bit quieter..
    Right..
    %m means "File not found or bad file name"
    when you run "flasher-3.5 -F os.bin -f" flasher wil be looking for a file called os.bin.. If it can't find os.bin, it gives you the error %m
    Why does it say %m and not something clearer? That's because of a bug in Nokia's software!
    Ok.. Did you download the zip file I sent you? If so here's how I think we can do this:
    Step 1) Open a CMD window
    Go to the start menu, select run then type CMD
    A black cmd window will pop up.. in that window run these commands exactly:
    cd %ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5
    start .
    A windows explorer window will appear. Move this window out of the way.. BUT don't close it
    Step 2) move the bin files
    Find the zip file you downloaded.. double click to open the file
    Inside you'll find two bin files
    Drag both files from the zip file into the explorer window that popped up in step 1
    Now close the zip file window
    Step 3) rename the bin files
    In the windows explorer window into which you dragged the bin files, you have to rename the files
    Click on
    RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM
    and rename (press F2) the file to emmc
    Click on RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin
    and rename (press F2) the file to os
    Step 4) flash the files
    unplug and turn off your phone
    In the black cmd window run this command
    flasher-3.5 -F os.bin -f
    flasher will pause saying "waiting for suitable device"
    Press and hold the U button on your phone and plug it in via usb.. you can let go of the U button when flasher starts doing something
    Once flasher has finished (it will say "completed successfully") you can continue:
    run this command
    flasher-3.5 -F emmc.bin -f -R
    That should be it

    Hi,
    You will take PLANT and MATERIAL in to the rows of the query.
    Then you will use restriction key figure (restriction on History) with user enterd range.
    Then you will use one more restriction key figure (restriction on Plant %) with current date.
    For user enters range, define a variable on 0CALDAY with processing 'user entry' and with 'interval'.
    For second restriction , you will create a variable on 0CALDAY with processing 'Customer exit' and with 'Single entry'.
    In user exut , you will define the value for second Varaible as system-date.
    With rgds,

  • Please help, very important file corrupt

    Hi,
    I am writing my final thesis, (more than 100 pages) and indesign crashed this moring while writing. Now the file can't open anyware anymore. I am using CS6 trial version, and even on other mac and pc it will not open anymore.
    How can I get my file back? Please help me..
    Thanks a lot!

    It's usually a bad sign when the file will no longer open even on another computer. Do you get any error messages?
    Find, and empty, the InDesign Recovery folder in your user library to keep ID from crashing over and over when it tries to open the bad recovery data. (The recovery folder is in the same folder where the InDesign SavedData file is stored, and the path information for your OS can be found in Replace Your Preferences Note that this folder is gong to be a hidden folder if you run Lion, so you need to display hidden folders in your search).
    Once that is done, start InDesign and use FIle > Open... to navigate to the original location where the file is saved. Tick the radio button to "Open as a COPY" and cross your fingers. If you are REALLLLLLY lucky it will open, and if it does, IMMEDIATELY export to .idml, then save the file with a new name as a backup, too. File > Open... and open the .idml file you just made, Save As to yet another name and you should be good to go.
    If it doesn't open, do you have any backup copies someplace? If not, you best hope is probably Markzware: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form
    Now some advice on preventing this from happening again (though a crash is outside your control). First, never work directly off a removeable drive, if that's your habit. Copy the file to the hard drive, edit, then copy back to the removeable drive. Do a Save As from time to time to clear out the old, useless and inaccessible change data from previous sessions and reduce the file size. Make backup copies every day. If you do the save as each time you are done working, and add a versioning sequence to the name or something similar you take care of two birds with one stone.

  • HELP! Project File won't open

    Hi,
    I tried to open my project file today and its stating the file may be open, corrupt, or not enough resources.  Is it corrupt!! what can I do to get it working again.  I tried all the usual, reboot, recopy file, try on another system.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Steph.

    Hello,
    Which version are you using? Can you look if you find a backup file, its name depend on your version. In CP5/5.5 it has an extension cpbackup
    If you use CP5/5.5 you can also retrieve a file from its cache (if you did not clear it). Work flow is described in this blog post

    The error is occuring because the jar ignores the system classpath.
    You need to set your classpath in the manifest file to find the external jars.
    Otherwise the external jars will not be found.
    In your case class javax/mail/MessagingException
    For example:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Created-By: 1.4.2_05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
    Main-Class: TheGMailClient
    Class-Path: . jars/mail.jar jars/activation.jar
    The path will need to be correct in the above related to your system.
    Also because you mention a gif image.
    You will need to add the image to the jar - you haven't.
    make sure you are loading the GIF image file in a manner that can be used from a jar.
    Image image = null;
    try {
      image = ImageIO.read(getCkass().getResource("logo.gif"));
    catch {
      // what ever
    }You may need a relative path to the image in the jar depending on where the gif is.
    For example image = ImageIO.read(getCkass().getResource("images/test.gif"));

  • Help - Invalid Class File Format

    Got the following error when I was trying to load a JSP that imports a servlet class:
    2001-08-12 03:17:12 - Ctx( /guestbook ): JasperException: R( /guestbook + /Guest

    mport.
    import com.zen.guestbook.GuestBook;
    2 errors
    Apparently the GuestBook class is found but for some reason it couldn't be loaded/compiled by Jasper. Anybody has a clue about the "wrong version" error? Thanks a lot.

    I started with JDK1.4, switched back to JDK1.3 after seeing the error but it didn't help.
    The first line of installation.html says:
    "Tomcat will operate under any Java Development Kit (JDK) environment that provides a JDK 1.1, JDK 1.2 (also known as Java2 Standard Edition, or J2SE) or later platform" - so I assume I don't have to go back to JDK1.2?
    Thanks.
