Red Event -Data Corruption?

I recouped what i could from the lightening storm that corrupted a wedding edit I was many hours into and checked the drive after data corruption. All reported well. I have been working with the footage for over a week on that drive and only had to recapture a few clips luckily but lost my veg files and rendered files.

So, I get everything how I want it- color correction, etc after having re-edited the entire ceremony and I render it out ot mpg2 and the audio out to ac3. I put it in DVDA3 where I let it do its thing. Once finished I burned it in Nero and then popped it in the set top to watch for errors. Within the first 5 minutes there are some horrible audio peaks (like when the cable goes out and you are watching static- the sound that accompanies it), 3 in a row to be specific and I keep watching and all is well. Well, I go back into Vegas to fix the audio (and I didn't recall hearing it before) and when I bring the project back up it says 1 audio file can't be found, blah blah blah. I choose ignore and what you see above is what I get. I thought, okay, I am running low on memory for some reason. I shut the computer off and restart. Nope. Still the above. The error checks I have run on the drive show up okay- Am I playing with a time bomb here? Do I just need to copy the data over to a different drive and recapture all the reds and again pick up the pieces and rebuild?
Is there a way to save the data from an apparently foddering drive?

What's even weirder to me is that the same captured avi file that is messed up (one in particular) also works just fine later in the ceremony. It is the same clip/event just at around 11 minutes into the edit it decides it does not want to be corrupt anymore.

It also messed up a single mp3 music file, but did not touch any of the others in that directory... what is going on!?!

That's corrupted data, yes. Might not necessarily be the video, but the header.
If you're able to use tools that will allow you to look at the header and modify it, then that is an option. A better and likely faster option if you have a lot of files, is to recapture using the recapture tool in the Project Media tab.

I think DSE is correct and you may corrupt headers. But since you were running out of memory, also check your disks for needing to be defrag. Check listings of the defrag analysis to see if any of your video AVIs is listed there needing restructuring. There maybe a bad file segment from the storm. If the file alloc. has no real order that makes sense, not only this hurt read performance but usually an "sign" of a bad write operation when recover tools try to fix a damage file, but the file is just too badly damaged but some data can be recover.

Recaptured. It was not in the media pool. Restarted Vegas and pointed the offline file reference to the file that I think was recaptured and this comes up.

jrazz, first, try to play the recapture AVI in VLC or MediaPlayer, does it play? if not, then also check AVI with program AVIcodec, does it list codecs for the video and sound?

Your listing suggest that vegas sees the AVI and starts to process it, but fails when accessing the file video cache...... suggesting a header problem or a defective file problem. If the files plays "well" in media player but not vegas, then maybe reinstalling vegas is the answer.

It's the file. I recaptured to another disk after I restarted Windows and check disk wanted to repair my drive that had the data on it. I think it got messed up when the lightening hit and fried the enclosure eventhough when I run diagnostics on it, it says it is fine.
Anyways, the recaptured file, on the other disk is fine and does not close down Vegas.

Thanks for the help though.
