Default Magic ID???

We are starting to get the following error message when opening files:

"Magic ID does not match".

I've asked a number of PT afficionados what this could mean and no one seems to know.

Power Mac G4, Protools 5.1.3 LE

Help!!!

This is a corrupt session file.
your only hope is to try and import the tracks to another new session.
IS this a TDM. Ive ran into this several times on a TDM system, never on a LE.

It's on an LE not TDM. I did find it in the DIgi Answerbase and you are of course correct. It's corrupt and only importing the tracks into a new session may be possible.

Thanks

This is probably too late and too obvious, but as PTLE session files (not the audio files) are tiny, I'm constantly making version backups as I work. I don't use the auto-save feature, as I like to control which session is saved, but its so easy and quick to do. You might want to make it part of your work flow.

It is a good idea to make the backups. The funny thing here is that of the 5 backups that were automatically saved, 2 of them have this error! So all was not lost, but I had never seen that error before, even in the 5 years we have had half a dozen Protools rigs.

Still, I'd like to know more about why it's called Magicc ID and not just a corrupt file.
