Recovering an Archive
If the table of contents of an
archive on tape is corrupted, Flame may not be able to read
it. If this happens, open the archive using the OTOC.
Once you open the archive,
you can restore the entire contents of the archive and save it to
a new tape. Do this, for example, if the tape has been damaged.
For VTR archives, you
can also overwrite the corrupted table of contents by saving a single
frame to the archive. If the table of contents is successfully overwritten,
you can open the archive using the Open button.
To restore the archive:
- Open the archive. See
Opening an Archive.
If the table of contents
is corrupted, the following message appears:
CLIP MGT: Warning! Cannot
read archive header. Select online TOC?
- Click Confirm to open the OTOC.
The file browser appears.
- Select the OTOC for the archive you are
trying to open and click Confirm.
- If the archive is on a VTR, a prompt
asks if you wish to retrieve the slates (proxies). Press Y to see
proxies in the archive or N to have no proxy images.
After a moment, the archive
appears.
NoteWhen you open an
archive with the OTOC, proxies only appear if the archive is on
a VTR, and you answered Yes to the prompt. For all other types of
archives, proxies appear as black images.
- Select the entire contents of the archive.
Make sure you have sufficient space on the framestore for the contents
of the archive.
- Click Restore.
- When the restore is complete, click Close.
The restored clips appear
in the selected clip library.
- Re-archive the material onto a new tape
as described in
Archiving Entries.
