MEP 16 Plus "lost" 19 minute video project. Is it really gone?

Spent days editing a video I'd taken on my camcorder, adding titles, music, then added a few still photos at the beginning.  When I was adding background music, the program said it was 1 hr 35 minutes long, when it was really only about 19 minutes.  I deleted some of the music objects that had gotten onto the timelime at the end of the project.  In trying to check if there were other objects there, I don't know what happened but the program told me I had exceeded 6 hours, which is the limit.  Since then I can't retrieve the project.  Also can't close it.  The message I got is that there is still a project open.  I've tried closing it, but nothing happens.  The video file seems to be empty.

 

My computer is a HP Pavillion laptop with 260 Gigabytes and 2 G of Ram.

 

Please help.

The program creates backup files every 10 minutes when you work with the project, numbered from 0 to 9. (*_BAK0.MV_, *_BAK1.MV_ , ----). You'll find them under File > Load backup project. Show Details will tell you the exact time they were created. Try the newest first. Now try to find out what is wrong.


"The video file seems to be empty." The *.MVP-file is not a video-file, just containing info about the project. Don't be afraid, your original video file will never be disturbed ! (Only when you manually delete it)
