I got a batch rendering script to work at last. I tested it with a simple project that just had a still on the timeline, and it worked -it created all the files I had set up.

I started the script on a very complex 11 minute project before I went home last night. When I got here this morning the computer was crashed and the internal hard drive (thank god not my boot drive) where I had created the output directory was HOSED - ("files are corrupt and unreadable"). All the folders on the entire drive are unreadable. I haven't given up hope for recovery, but it's slim at this point.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue or suggestions?

thanks,
