After going through solution after solution, I gave up and reset my PC. I tried to salvage it by keeping my personal files, which did help since I still have the schorman HD transfers and deleted scenes that I’ve been using from the start. However, my editing program got uninstalled, and I lost all three of my projects, which means I will have no choice but to start over.

On the bright side, it could have been worse. In addition to the source files still being around, I made the right decision to keep my edits of I and II on a flash drive. So I still have the final products (so far), and I still have the files I’ve been editing with from the beginning.

I think this is a perfect opportunity to start editing my blu-ray rips on my mac. I still need to get audio for the deleted scenes, but I might be able to rip my DVD of Episode III onto my mac, and use those as a substitute.

For obvious reasons, I’m going to restart editing III first, and soon. It’s the only movie I haven’t finished anyway. I’ll get to fixing up I and II once I’ve finished III.
