since you say its a "commercial," i would assume its pretty short, right? in that case i would definitely just get a quicktime from them with timecode burned in to the image. do your work that way, and then when you send it back or if you are working with them on changes, you have the timecode right there to reference. the dv toolkit will give you some omf capabilities, a timecode ruler, and a few other things, but if i were you i wouldn't blow the $700 for a :30 spot.

$.02

good luck.
