The drive heads are knackered. I was asked if I wanted to pay a further £300 for another/further attempt. But I can afford it. The preliminary versions on YouTube are taken from a DivX render of the final cut pro timeline I did in January. It is only low res. And I had done lots of work since then. I still have the timeline but 80-90% of the media is gone. I am staying fairly positive and the project will be finished... Somehow. Thanks for your support as always. JD

Mate, set up a paypal contribution fund. If it's just the drive heads which are broken, then they should be able to transplant the platters and fix it. I really enjoyed your empire and jedi docs and I'd happily send you a bit of cash towards paying for your drive to be fixed, I suspect many more here would also! :)
