[Andrew Hulsmeier] “Digitizing from my sony camera firewire to firewire Media 100 producer version 13 software only, latest quicktime.”
You should update to Media 100 V 13.0.3

Problem is that ProRes is pretty CPU-intense. You should open the Activity Monitor from the Applications->Utilities folder and look at the CPU usage during playback of ProRes clips. Not sure what CPU you have, but since you are on HDx you most likely only have a dual-core system which probably is not fast enough to decode the clips. ProRes is heavily optimized for Intel CPUs…

Some more details would be helpful. Which hardware? How do you acquire? Which connections? What deck and format? What is your source audio sample rate? What version of Media 100 do you use? What OS and QuickTime version?

For editing, we switched most of our work to ProRes over the last years. Only doing uncompressed projects rarely if we feel that we need the absolutely highest quality possible.
Regarding acquisition, it really depends on which cameras and systems fit your needs. Most of the tapeless stuff (except P2 DVCProHD, which is more or less end of life) needs to be transcoded first for editing. I personally would look into the XDCamHD or XDCam EX lines, but it really depends on what your preferences are in cameras, and what your workflow e.g. regarding memory card handling will be.

[Murray Ferguson] “I’m wondering if I should do a reinstall of 13.0.2. If I do this, do I uninstall first, and how is this done. “
You could try it, but I don´t think it will change much. But maybe worth a try. You can uninstall via the Media 100 installer that you are using to install the software. It has an uninstall option. And if you are at it, I would reinstall the Kona software also.
Did you install anything else lately on the system? New codecs or something that could cause this problem? -
Maybe you have a corrupted drive. You should run DiskUtility from the Applications->Utilities folder to check your media and system drives. Haven´t used the OMF tool lately, so I am not sure if there may be a bug in it.
One thing you could try is to rename the actual music file before importing it. One guess is that the audio track name contains too many characters, which could confuse the OMF tool. But it just is a guess.
You also could copy the content of the CrashReport into a text document and send it to Media 100 support to see what they say about this.

Re you running on OS9? Which version of Media 100? In the OS9 and earlier days you had to allocate memory to application. Select the Media 100 application in the Finder and press Command-I to get the info window while the app is not running. Then increase the Memory allocated to the application.

[Harry Newman] “Is there anything I am missing? An easier way to do this? “
This should be improved in the net release of Media 100 Suite

[bill page] “4. What to do????? “
Did you read my last reply to your earlier thread? Did you try some of the suggestions or have answers to some of my questions?

If you want the fastest system possible with P6000, you could get a G5 with PCI-X slots and a PCI Expansion chassis. Or get a fast G4, but the performance difference between the G4 and G5 systems was huge.
