Hi,
I have a huge problem. I have interviews for a documentary recorded with quicktime 7, but since my editing program wouldn't take the files directly I decided to convert them. I always thought max did nothing to the source files but apparantly I'm wrong. The original format of the recording is .mov , but in order to import in garagaband, where I did some basic sound editing on some tracks I renamed to .mp3 . The recorded format is, according to quicktime, .aac (h264, i recorded audio only)). Now I dragged all the renamed .mp3 files to max and got only a file with a very short loud noise out of it for each track. I thought this was just a failed attempt but when i tried to play the files again somewhere else NONE of them played anymore. When i took a look I saw the last edited date was changed to the time I had dragged them to Max. The file sizes are still normal, so I hope the information must be somewhere still. Is there anyway I could retrieve these interviews?
Thanks alot,
Jonathan

Re: Files Corrupted after trying to Convert Them
Did you try changing the extension back to .mov from .mp3? It seems likely that whatever player you're using is trying to play the files as an MP3, not as a QT Movie.
