This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: Whacky AMA edit rate conflict and audio and video codec confusion?

After playing with P2 Log Pro I see there are issues with the clip. It appears to be spanned judging by 4 clips that matching time code outs to ins and I can only link to ama file on the first one in avid. I tried running the repair wizard but I still get whacky posterized colorized playback in P2 log Pro. In avid I get core consistency erros. Also it appears that when P2 log Pro "repairs a clip it loses most of the metadata most importantly time code now starts at zero on the repaired clip. I made a copy so I have the original clip. I'll be searching the help file but does anybody know if P2 Log Pro will allow me to alter the time code on the repaired clip? I'm trying all the menus but having no luck. The fact the both Avid and P2 Log Pro are having issues seems to point to a bad file of file copy along the way. I have tried the original drive I got plus the copy I made to my local drives. Hopefully the original disk transfer will exist somewhere. I'm missing the joy stick more and more.

One clip out of the 6 that show up in the bin as dnx 115 and the rest are DVCPro HD (720P/60) These are all coming from the same folder that contains a CONTENTS folder and a LASTCLIP.TXT document. If I dig into the video folder inside the CONTENTS folder I can find the odd clip and relink to it and now it says DVCPro HD (720P/60) like the others but there is no audio. If I highlight the newly relinked clip and relink to ama file(s) and this time I point to the matching files in the audio folder the audio is there. Weird. Also when I initially linked to the ama volume and two clips wouldn't link the error message said to check the console and here's what it read:

At any rate I get the 6 clips with audio in the bin and I got to transcode to dnx 220 and I get a prompt saying some of the clips don't match the edit rate of the current project. I tried both 1080i/59.94 and 1080P/29.97 and I get the same prompt. The choice is to Convert, Skip or Cancel. I've chosen to convert. Is this edit mismatch because the DVCPro HD is a true 60 and not 59.94? I'd always been under the impression that DVCPro HD 720P/60 was really 59.94. Is this not the case or has it changed? This would be the first folder I've chosen to convert and the radio cut for the show has already been done at 23.98 when the final delivery is going to be 59.94i. Would someone please borrow Bob Z's shotgun and help me get some piece of mind. I've thought the P2 stuff was pretty standard material these days. I am working from a copy of another disk so maybe that's part of the error. Also I count many more clips in the
> video folder than I do in the linked to ama volume bin. I'm guessing this could be spanned clips as this is a sit down interview. I'm at a loss as to what 2 clips won't link and given the mismatched of files in the video folder compared to clips in the ama bin I can't really just find the two missing video file names because there are 11 video files in the video folder and only 6 clips as previously mentioned in the ama bin. I'm thinking I might have to get an ECS-90 to finish this show. ;-)
