I run into this all the time, it means the OMF is over 2 gigs. (not that
the error tells you that). Split your audio in halfs and try that. Bet
it works, and you'll have 2 omf's somewhere in the range 1.2 gigs or
something.
Most of the time that doesn't even work for me.
I narrowed this down at one point; If big long tracks were imported
originally (like music tracks, or mixdowns from tape, etc.) even if you only
use 10 frames of a piece of that audio, DS will try to put the entire thing
in the OMF (regardless of the 'Consolidate' switch which doesn't seem to
actually work).
Even if you PURGE the unused media, so that there is only the portion you
used remaining on the system, DS will seemingly pad the embedded media when
it makes the OMF as if it was the original length of the clip! Which will
of course push you back over the size limit if that was your problem in the
first place. It's just flat-out broken.
