Question

Original fine corrupted

I did a test, the other day, of the adobe podcast software. Somewhere around the hour and a half mark the recording just stopped. We noticed right away and started a new project to finish our test cast. I have successfully downloaded and unzipped the second part. The first part downloads, but will not open. My computer says its incompatible. My phone and tablet say the file is too large to open. I downloaded WinRAR and that lets me see the subfolders, but says the files are corrupted. I have downloaded it several times. I have tried downloading in a different browser. I have restarted my whole computer. I can not access the original files.

      As I answered in the other related threads, I just feed the corrupted .zip files to ChatGPT Desktop Codex mode and ask to extract it.  Works flawlessly, though I'd like for Adobe to fix it natively obviously.

      Is there a non AI option?  I have been working very, very hard to keep it as far away from my work as possible.

      This is assistant AI, not generative AI. They are two different things, and keeping away AI as an assistant tool is shooting yourself in the foot as that's the future and there's nothing we can do no matter how anti-AI sentiment there is. And, in the end, not wasting away your work is a much better option. 

      I'm sure you can do it without, as ChatGPT Desktop Codex just uses things that exist to meet the requested task, but would you know how to do it? It's an error within the code of the .zip file (the file themselves are completely fine), so it's not that easy to pull off.

      Yes, went through this the last 3 days as well. I went on r/podcasting subreddit and they offer a lot of alternatives. I don’t think the podcast team even exists. Did the “help” email work for you? It just bounced back at me.

      The help email is not real. Support confirmed it to me. It appears to just be how they make you go away

        Yep exactly.

        I have been informed by support, after many, many attempts ad finding a solution, that adobe does not have support for adobe podcast and does not assist with problems connected to their paid features on it. We are on our own, folks.
