Can any one suggest simple, yet affective software to work with OMF?

I am editing sound for a video company. I have had problems working in ProTools 5, G3, OS9 back when you didn't have to pay for DigiTranslator. I now work on a G4 Powerbook with an Mbox... but what is up with this iLok and DigiTranslator crap?

Confusing, costs hundreds, makes me sad. And I hear it has loads of bugs to be worked out.

I know that Logic Pro will import OMF, and I have picked up Bias....

Any other suggestions? I am starting to really question ProTools.....

Hey Sid,

I recently did a complete album on DP 4 from OMF files. I was a project that was started on PT, saved as OMF files and sent to me. MOTU advertises DP as OMF compatible. This is true. Just drag and drop the OMF files into the chunks window and then load them into the tracks window and you are in business. Whe I received the tracks, I was up and running in fifteen minuets.

The project was converted at Universal Studios' audio department and I'm not sure what process they used. You could use .aiff or sdII, but you get all and I mean all out takes edits and other audio tracks and not necessarily in sync. The OMF files loaded in sync with the proper track names.
