Subject:SF 5.0 illegal marker or region Posted by: tcarp Date:3/27/2002 10:00:55 AM I have a narration file that I drop markers on as I listen so that each segment can be copied and pasted/saved as/ for web audio compression and use. I keep getting a message THIS FILE CONTAINED AN ILLEGAL MARKER OR REGION. THE MARKER OR REGION HAS BEEN CORRECTED. When the new file is reopened it has been shortened and the audio is cut short of the marker I placed. I've looked in the manual and help files but find no clue as to the cause or how to correct it. This is a rather routine process for us but never had this happen before. I even started with a new master file but get the same error.

I have a narration file that I drop markers on as I listen so that each segment can be copied and pasted/saved as/ for web audio compression and use. I keep getting a message THIS FILE CONTAINED AN ILLEGAL MARKER OR REGION. THE MARKER OR REGION HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
