Hi!!

 I have been trying to export to OMF to give the file to a sound editor and every time I export, it starts doing it and then I get "MVL_Insufficient_Space" error.

I have 140 GB available in the target drive and I also tried to export to desktop, where I have 40 GB available. I did change my avid user name as I read in one post, I get the same error. At one point after getting the MVL_Insufficient_Space" error, I tried to reopen the program and I got an avid message that said, "Mac Error -108 (Not enough room in heap zone)

I then discovered I had some media files on my internal mac drive, I cleaned those off completely, now the program opens fine after the "MVL_Insufficient_Space" error, but still I can not export to OMF. I am only trying to export a small portion of the project as a test, about 5 minutes, 6 tracks of audio.

 I am using avid xpress pro v.5.7 on a mac book pro, 2.33 ghz intel core 2 dui, running Mac version 10.4.10. Using a Lacie quaddra hard drive for media.

Please help me, this is the last big step of a project I have been working on for a very long time! Thank you in advance.

THE PROCESS I HAVE BEEN USING TO EXPORT IS AS FOLLOWS, from another post from this forum: Duplicate fine cut to an export bin. Close fine cut bin. Go to media creation settings and uncheck 'system drive'. Back to export bin, delete video tracks. Go to file export, and in options, select Export as omfi 2. Check 'Include all audio tracks in sequence'. Export method - Consolidate Media. Check 'convert audio sample rate' box and select 48khz Check 'convert audio sample bit depth' and slect 16-bit Check ,convert audio file format to' and select AIFF-C Finally, select 'Embedded in OMF'. Save as, and save setting, then save - I usually save the omfi to the desktop for dvd burn.

OMF has a 2gb file size limit.  

Try duplicating your sequence and on the duplicate delete the video tracks, then try to export OMF

another method would be to consolidate the media first and export the sequence w/o the media
