Spanned P2 Clip

Ok, I need a little guidance. I have read around and cant seem to pinpoint my exact issue.

I use to own an HVX-200, I have some old time lapse footage of a friend of mine painting a mural. He has recently passed away in an accident and I need to get the footage from my old files.
I went to my old p2 card directories and found everything from the shoot and everything looks good. I started to transfer the footage and thats when I had an issue.

It was recorded on a 32 Gb p2.
The clip in question is in the middle of the directory(s) /file structure.
I CAN preview EVERY clip (in log and transfer) INCLUDING the clip in question.
I can import every clip on the volume EXCEPT the one in question.
The clip im trying to import says (Spanned) but there is no other card to be spanned to.

I just cant believe this is happening. The one clip I need where my friend is in frame right in the camera in the middle of the time lapse and I cant import the clip.
I hope someone can help me out in this situation. EVEN an alternate work around, the clips are relatively short so Im willing to try things.
Thank you.
 
Do you have the other card in your P2 card directory? If so, just click the button to add the second card to the process and it'll combine it.
 
Are you able to preview it on your computer screen? A screen capture software like gamers use might be an acceptable workaround although you may lose some quality.
 
Are you sure the recording is spanned across multiple cards and not just across multiple 4GB clips? It sounds like you are using FCP/FCS and I don't work with those, but is it possible that the clip you are looking at is just a continuation of the previous clip?
 
I am able to preview it in FCP log and capture!
There is no other card to link it to.
if the file is larger that 4 GB that may be the problem. It was so long ago I may have deleted the clip that came right after but I dont know or remember.
