You're going to have to provide more information than that for anyone to help you. First off... How were your source files encoded?

i had .mov files in that project ... this project was working just fine 3 months ago

except ..
i remember it crashed once then i had a recovery copy of it
i opened it few times after that
i even exported the movie as windows avi
after that i didn`t open it until now

the recovery copy doesn`t `t work either

did any one face this problem before and was able to fix it ?

When you're editing with files that are encoded in formats that editing software is not designed to work with, you are playing with fire - I suppose this is a good practical lesson that reinforces the points that are made EVERYWHERE on these forums, no?

What about the projects' Auto-Save directory? Aren't there backup copies in there?

yes , i know

but back then i thought it was ok cuz it worked well i swear

i guess i took my chances and the video got out safe
it only crashed once , and now i can`t open it again

that was only the first and last time i try it ..

... i found an auto save , though it wasn`t the last phase.
