A/V on stored project out of sync.

So here's a weird one - opened up an old project, in storage for about a year on an external hard drive, for re-rendering for digibeta, and got multiple instances of this and similar errors when .veg opening:

Media file E:\Feet Backup\Feet of Clay Pool - Clip 012 - 000 - 000.avi has changed enough that the media stream properties from the project file could not be applied. Default media stream properties were used.

So now, all the clips specified in these errors are waaay out of sync. The audio clips were from a separate sound sytem, which I synced by slate, so I can't simply reconnect media with Ultimate S. If I can't find a way to fix this, I'm going to have to manually re-link them up by eye. Huge pain in the ass. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I've tried opening the project in both 8.0b and 7.0d, no change.

I don't see anyway that a media file can change on its own.

I would check to see if you still have the right codecs loaded. Was the audio a seperate file? Do you still have the original audio files?

Is it possible that you had elements stored over a couple of harddrives and you are missing a drive?

Just guessing here, but like I said, no way for the file to change on its own, something in your system had to change or you did not save the correct elements originally.

Well, seem to have found a solution. I saved the project onto another drive, with the option of saving all media, trimming it with a 2-second head and tail. Somewhere in that process, they all seem to have gotten back in sync. Perhaps Vegas needs an option like Final Cut where you "reconnect media". But I'm back up and running...
