Chris, these posts were submitted by B.T. and should solve your problem. I
haven't done this yet, but saved these posts as I planned on importing from
P.T. at some point. Hope this helps.

I. Buy MacOpener online. Install it on your PC. Now all Mac media will show
up and behave just like a FAT32 disk on your PC. Zero hassle.
You will also get a "Mac format" option when you right click any disk.
If you choose that, you can format any Firewire HD as a Mac disk right
on your PC. Use that for PT transfers, as MacOpener on a PC works better
and faster than the PC-DOS utility on a Mac.You will retain full
filenames as well. Don't have to worry about using 8.3 filename formats.
I do this from PT all the time. Completely painless. Also, if the PT
guys use Wav file format, which is now the default standard for PT, you
will need to use StripWav on the files. OTOH, if they use SD2, you will
have to manually add the SD2 extension and then tell Paris what sample
rate and bit depth for every single file. That's a slight pain. WAV and
StripWav is way easier.
And now, you owe me ;-)

II. You're on a PC right? And the HD project is at 44.1K or 48K, right?
1. Have them do a "Duplicate File" for all the files in the project to
create contiguous *and clearly labeled* files all with the same start time.
2. Have them render to Broadcast Wav format.
3. Xfer all the files to your PC, probably via CD.
4. Do a Google search for StripWav.
5. Run all the files through StripWav to remove all the PT proprietary
mush that will make them useless in Paris unless you use StripWav.
6. Import the files to Paris *using the TimeLocked tool*. This will
place all the files at exactly Zero.
7. Remix the record.
8. Try not to gloat too much when it sounds better.
Regards,
Brian T
