Seems the Repair Sequences only works on seq in an open bin. Since I can't open the bin it seems to have no effect. Also, I opened the last useable attic seq bin and all seq play fine so not sure how I can find the corruption. At least I have this version so all is not lost.
There is a Console Commands to try to fix bad sequences. RepairSequences. Type that (caps are important) into the console (command-6) and hit enter.
If projects will not open, there is a way (option-click?) to get a project to open with ALL of the bins closed. You can open almost ANY project if all of the bins are closed. But I don't know of a way to open a BIN with the SEQUENCE not loaded or with the sequence loaded but with the monitoring of all tracks off. That would be a good troubleshooting feature request.

If all of the old bins play, then you can't tell about corrupt media. I'm a bit fuzzy about the point where I figured out it was bad media that was keeping stuff from opening. I think that I finally got a bin to open, but it was a bin where the bad sequence was NOT active. So when I tried to load the sequence then I got the error message. So then I figured it was a bad sequence... Then, from experience, I figured I would see if the sequence would play if I turned off the monitoring on all of the video tracks. That worked, so I figured it was a video problem - corrupt media - so then I started trying to just play back certain portions of the sequence using play-in-to-out. I tried to play the first half of the sequence and it wouldn't play, but if I marked an inpoint about half way through and an outpoint at the end then it WOULD play, so that let me know that the problem was in the first half of the sequence. Then I kept narrowing it down. It was a 10 minute sequence and I was able to find the two bad clips through this method in about 5 minutes of trial and error. I deleted the two clips and the sequence played perfectly.So then I undid the deletions so I could (with monitoring the track off) see the timecode numbers of the track and the name of the original source media (transcoded Alexa footage, transcoded to ProRes by an ad agency). When I reimported the media, I just went to the same TC number and recut the footage back over the old, bad, corrupt clips. The sequence played fine once that was done.SteveOn Mar 28, 2014, at 11:33 AM, Lou Wirth <loutv@mindspring.com> wrote:Steve
How was it you found the corrupt media if the bin could open? Did the corrupt media not keep you from opening the bin? I was able to go back about 10 binds to the last one that I could open. I have a dozen sequences in there. How would I know what is corrupt if they all play?

Just add an "X" to any of your Avid Mediafile folder names. If you've only got a single RAID or drive for media, it would be a super-quick solution to taking the media offline safely and easily. (instead of unlink/relink).SteveOn Mar 28, 2014, at 6:21 AM, Frank Felker <FJFelker@gmail.com> wrote:If Steve is correct, perhaps Lou can take all of his media offline (rename the folders or turn off the drives) and see if the bin can open. If it does, add in folders or drives until the failure occurs again.
Divide and conquer.

This happened to me a few weeks ago...It ended up being a corrupt piece of media in the sequence that was open in the bin.I think that I ended up going WAY back in the attic to a sequence that was quite old that would open. I found the corrupt clip by doing play-in-to-out on each half of the sequence until I found the bad media. When I replaced the bad media in the old sequence, I tried opening the latest sequence bin (not even in the Attic, but the one in the current project) and then I could open the bin and play the sequence. I think I ended up going to almost the oldest version of the sequence bin to find one that would open. I might also have opened the old bin into a completely new project, but I don't remember. I was trying everything at a rapid pace.I ended up finding the original source file for the corrupt media and reimporting it. If I kept the video monitor off the corrupt track, I still had access to the tracking (Timecode) info for the corrupt clip, so I knew what the starting frame was and I could replace it with the exact shot, starting on the exact frame.SteveOn Mar 27, 2014, at 6:55 PM, Lou Wirth <loutv@mindspring.com> wrote:Now what? My final sequence bin wont open. All other bins do. Nor will an attic bin open.error is the same.
Unable to open file "_Hi Res Sea"
Exception:DOMAIN_COPYOUT_FAILED
Exception: STRM_UNEXPECTED_TAG, GotillegalTag:100
Anyone know what the heck this means? Kind of a big deal as I can't get to final cuts.
thanks
