OMF import crashes system

[bob schachner]

Are we the only facility that has this problem?
2 rooms, same setup, G5 dual 2 gig, AV option, PT6.2.3, OSX 10.3.2

When we import OMF's from anywhere, embeded or linked, ProTools "unexpectedly quits" the first time in the middle of copying the audio. When we force quit and open the same project a second time, the OMF comes in perfectly. This happens almost all the time. OMF's from Avid, FinalCut, even other ProTools sessions...We can't figure it out.

Got the same problem here. Haven't really taken the time to suss it out. Instead, I saved a copy of one of my sessions that I had already done an import into, cleaned it out and use it as a template for now.

Maybe I'll try to chase this down later, but can't take the time now. I was figuring it was a prefs/digi database/corrupt template issue. Maybe not?

But then again, now that I holler down the hall to one of our other suites (who needs telephones? ), it seems to be happening in there as well.

Huh!
