Guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 So I downloaded disc one of Phil & Friends 02/18/01 in SHN.. It has 6 tracks. Ran the MD5 and all 6 files were "OK". Then when I dragged all the SHNs into the box to turn them into WAV's, it did the transfer, but it also gave me something along the lines of: paf01-02-18d1.md5 contains checksums for 6 files which are missing or could not be opened... What does this mean? Am I screwed? Thanks! KevO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Oh yeah, in case it makes a difference, I got it from gdlive.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 maybe try converting the files a second time or just the md5's. not too sure what the problem could be tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolarGarlic Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 OK, so forgive if i don't understand your dilema...but here goes: so you run the checksum on the shn files and they check out fine. Then you converted them to wav format. Are you running the checksum on the wav files that you just converted to?? if you are, then of course the checksum would fail because the shn files no longer exist. Im assuming that under "file options" you have selected "delete input files after lossless processing", in which case, when you convert the shns to wav, you are left only with wav files. This would render the md5 totally useless as it only checks the integrity of the original shn files. if the shns checked out ok against the md5 then you should be fine. am I way off base??? i had a lot to drink amidst the marathon hockey game and the taped tyson/lewis debacle.

SolarGarlic Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 oh yeah, my guess would be that when you dragged and dropped all of the files you probably dragged the md5 as well. so after you converted all of the shns to wav the md5 ran again and gave you errors b/c there were no shn to check anymore. try highlighting the shorten files, right clicking, and choosing "decode to wav".

Guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Oops -- I think that I did indeed drag the md5 into the window along with the shn's when I converted them. Thanks again for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
