[QUOTE="kicklite, post: 1660237, member: 86412"] Unhiding the files hasn’t revealed much so far partly because there are just so many to look at and compare that I eventually gave up. Unless there’s a way to quickly identify which files were previously hidden? I did find one folder with about 6-8 files in it but certainly not video given their size. What I did do was compare folder size between the 2 drives, in the hope that would be a clue as to where to find hidden files. All of the folders on the Mac formatted drive were about 4-5% bigger than the same ones on the NTFS. Another PC/Mac difference of some sort? This certainly makes me want to get up to speed on the windows side of things. I also decided to create a new project and import the files from the NTFS drive. (Previously I had only done so from the HFS+ drive). The results were the same with the off line files. Nearly all are of the offline files are avi so not problem there and one is an mp4 also no problem. The project file of the entire movie hasn’t been deleted. Since being given the drive, I’ve been sent several new re-edits over the net. On one of them, the only change was the addition of subtitles. I have little doubt there is more going on here than is being acknowledged. Unfortunately the prospect of being sent a new drive with the missing files is out of the question. Much of this material was shot over a period of time with a mixed bag of formats so I suspect the editor had these on multiple drives and simply forgot to transfer them all. Also, it was edited in an area prone to power failures so that could cause a corrupted drive. So far I have requested a few shots be sent over the internet, shots that are critical that I have only in a highly compressed format right now. Lisa, I really appreciate your insight and willingness to help. Thank you. Jase [/QUOTE]
