Video issue, help requested!
I am running X3e on a Dell XPS14 computer. My bandmate is running the identical software (X3e) on his studio desktop. We have created a live set with video. It runs and looks perfect on his system. In transferring the project to the laptop, the audio plays fine, but no video is viewable in any window size. This is a problem since we plan on using a laptop for a live show. The only difference in our systems is that he is running windows7 and I have Windows8.1. I've updated all my drivers and have the latest bios installed. I am out of ideas....any thoughts on what might be going on? The video files is in mpg format, but I can't get ANY video to play in sonar. The screen is just black (though the project plays). I DID make sure I re-imported the video on the laptop since it does not seem that sonar saves video with a project file. Keep in mind, NO video from any file, is playing. BTW, the video plays fine in VLC and WMP.
THANKS!
Steve

Almost certainly the codec is not installed on your computer.
Sometimes this is solved by installing QuickTime if that includes the codec you need.
StudioCat > I use Windows 10 and Sonar Platinum. I have a touch screen. I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

and the Klite codecs pack is also worthwhile

Tried installing both the klite codecs and quicktime with no change in DAW behavior. Video still shows black. However, it now does seem to play wmv videos. UNfortunately, the video I am in need of playing is MPEG2. At least I have a clunky solution where I can convert it and play, but it is frustrating.

Mark and i have respectfully agreed to disagree about the merits of internet codec packs, but a more direct solution instead of installing a lot of codecs blindly is to idenify the one you actually need. This free utility will analyze the file you have to make that determination : http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ i do agree that k-lite, in my experience , seems to be malware free, which is more than i can say for most.

Dub and I are old friends and like minded friendly foes on this.
If we can help then we will.
KLite is Malware free, off the top of my head there are two malware(ish) files but a false positive.
Dubs link to the free utility is a must.

OP, which video engine are you using within Sonar?

Media Foundation with K-Lite works well for me, DirectShow was a disaster but its going to depend on what you have on your system.
A bit of trial and error and settle for whats best.

Dub, you'll like this......Just got a Kudos from John Boorman.... ( I sound designed this film in Sonar, no probs with Sonar, some with OMF's but you know my workaround...blah blah) Here is what he had to say.... "The Producer gave me Stomach to look at, but there was no address so perhaps you would pass on my comments that follow. I see from the back of the cover that this short has been garlanded at festivals across the universe, and rightly so. It is a bold and daring piece. This is David Lynch's version of the Alien . This was as far as he got when they fired him. When he pulls out the gun from the stomach I expected a miniature John Hurt. The casting and acting are splendid. I was hoping it would all end in gore and death and it almost made it. The gun fails to go off so it ends in the words of TS Eliot 'Not with a bang but a whimper.' Why don't you work it up as a feature? I salute all who made it." That is a quote from Boorman himself!!! The moral of this story is that Sonar is a great DAW if you know what you are doing.
