Problem opening Nuendo 2 OMF in DigiTranslator

[jdaboll]

Wondering if anyone has had experience with Nuendo 2.x OMF files and DigiTranslator. We need to bring material created on a Nuendo 2.x system, WinXP Pro, in wav format (I assume broadcast wav). The material is exported from Nuendo as follows: OMF v.2, 24 bit audio (orig. bitrate), 44.1k (orig. sample rate), exported as a single file with media included. The audio files are in .wav format, and according to the Nuendo user, there are no options in the export dialog to convert the audio to .aif.

The files do not open in DigiTranslator 2 on either a PT 5.1.3cs11 system or a PT 6.1 system. In DigiTranslator 1.01 (standalone), the files will open, but in each case the audio is entirely distorted (full level white noise). The OMF files do not open with the OMFTool 2.0.8 either. It is also interesting to note that in our second test, DigiTranslator 1.01 reports that the 24 bit audio files are only 16 bit.

I have opened and played both OMF files in Fairlight's AVTransfer software. It reports no problems, and identifies and plays all of the material correctly. We are only evaluating AVTransfer, and so cannot use it to "repair" these OMF files.

Any insight into this problem would be apppreciated.

Thanks,

Jules
