anyone ever get a mutant file ? I have a file of an interview recorded in the pix.
145 dnxhd resolution. 11 gig. in size....but...windows does not report a 'length'

all other files show a length. Go to play the qt file...and error. QT doesn't understand this file.

Anyway to fix it ? I have it backed up on tape(glad tape still exists)...so I'd just have to digitize that portion...but this is the first time I've gotten a mutant clip. All other clips before...and after are fine.

thx. FYI...i have NOT yet updated our Pix's to V3 yet.....

The only time I've had a mutant file is when some bright spark pulled the power in the middle of recording. Luckily, I was also able to recover from the cameras internal SxS card.
