I have a CD copy of every last one of my vids including the Premiere Project File (and export(s) from other editing programs) and all images used. That way I never loose track. Plus I can save HDD space.

When a video is officially finished, I burn all the project files (huffyuv and all) onto DVD-R. I keep the HuffYUV and MPEG2 on my computer.

I need a DVD-R but I am waiting for the Dual layer versions to become more affordable. As of right now I keep an MPEG4 V2 of the highest quality.

I have your video "They Got Potential" on my hard drive right now, but I don't have any web space to load it. Aside from that, my file transfer upload speed can often be painfully slow, so that might not work out. If you have any ideas, I'd be willing to help.

Well, I have two: "She's So High" and "They Got Potential"
If you want, PM me your home address and I'll mail the CD to ya.

[quote=fellowhoodlum]A recent HDD crash has nuked my data files, along with all my AMVs. A friend of mine has copies but his HDD had died a while earlier too so I am unable to recover my own AMVs [/quote]
There's a program called EasyRecovery Professional by OnTrack which may be able to recover data after your HD been wiped. If your HD still working, you might wanna try that utility.

To everyone who offered to help, thank you very much in advance.

It was kind of a silly accident in the first place. I keep my videos in a data partition so I don't have lose it when I reinstall Windows. I was copying files from CD to that partition when the computer locked up. Rebooting causes scandisk to try to fix said NTFS partition, but the recovery always causes the PC to hang.

So I skip the scandisk each time I boot but Windows says the partition is no longer there. Trying to access it causes my PC to pause for a couple minutes each time and yields nothing. So I had no choice but to nuke the affected partition and try to recover the space. Even then I could not recover all the space that was lost, only about 80-90% of it.
