I did a quick search for yours, but if I have it, it's either called something unexpected or filed in a place I didn't look. (One problem with my old vid folders is that they're all over the place because I tended to sort vids into various categories rather than by fandom.)

But yeah, the general tendency of things to vanish over time is just such a thing. I know a lot of my very old files are gone because my hard drive was so small in those days that I saved things onto CD a lot and then deleted them from the hard drive. (Technically I probably still have at least *most* of those CDs, but I wouldn't know where to begin to look to find something on them.)

I think vidding also used to be easier than it is now. We downloaded so much more back then, and now everything is streaming.
