Literally delete half the clips from your project. Try = collect files again. If it doesn't work still, delete the other half. If = that works, then undo, and this time only delete half of the clips that = you just deleted.

Rinse, lather, repeat until you can = discover a pattern.

A more drastic approach would be = to delete all of your files or all except one to prove your theory that = its a file problem. Then gradually undo and keep more and more of your = files.

It sounds like it could take all day, but if = you are systematic and go in huge sections at a time, you could discover = a lot by doing this for 5-10 minutes.

Good luck!
