Help: Long audio file now stops after a certain point in the timeline?

Support

I have a really long audio file (I'm helping a friend edit something) that was working fine last time I opened it. When I opened it this morning, it stops at hour 5 (5:15 to be exact) and now has this diagonal lined portion followed by blank audio that goes on till the end of the track (which you can see in the screenshot).

I've removed the cache and renamed the files but it's still showing up like that.

These edits took a while... am I doomed?

Thanks and Happy Holidays to whoever has read this!

Thanks! We call 'em the "Danger Stripes." You may have to relink the media to an identically named clip. Let us know if we can help.

Ok. I didnt quite figure out what happened, but I got the original file that wasnt working, re-converted it and then re-linked it and now it's working.

Thanks for the help!

Specs of the audio file? Where is it from? Where is it stored? Does it have a unique name and did it link to the wrong file?

Do you have a backup you can test?

It's stored on my hard drive (C drive) and runs 9 hours, 38 minutes. It's got a unique name I think. When I deleted the cache and associated files (.cfa, pek) and renamed the original file, it re-imported it but it's still the same.

What format? where is it from?

Does it have audio in something like VLC all the way through?

Do you have another copy?

If you described those lines like I'm thinking you did, that usually indicates the same file name on the same location was replaced by a shorter file. Did you overwrite anything in that same folder? Do you have a backup of the original clip?

I added the screenshot to the original post. Not sure why it didnt upload at first.

I didnt overwrite anything from what I remember. I also have the original file and tried to link to that but still nothing.
