Noel has explained it several times, here is the most recent post http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3319000

It's been explained but it doesn't make sense. It makes sense on some technical level but it seems like such a nothing thing. And changing that setting basically makes every video file a client sends me either not load or load really slow. So I'm better off doing what I do... which is trim in from some trial & error point so i can line up where I want my first beat to be with the first bar. So annoying.
 
On the plus side, I think I just got it. By trimming in at 13:40, it all lined up for the film I'm working on. If I could have just moved the video a hair, it would have been all fine though with no guess work.

Listen guys, I have been asking for decent video handling for the last 5 years.... There is allways a good reason not to fix it, meanwhile, every  other DAW on the market has this thing covered even Reaper (50$) was allready passed this 2 years ago... Cakewalk just doesn't care... I'm really pissed off..
 
Cakewalk, stop inventing new ProChannel plugins, there are allready too much of them, and fix the darn Video handling, some of us are getting really fed up...

I've explained in the other thread that our hands are tied until Microsoft releases a fix to handle this issue. 
Its not that we don't care to fix it. We would have done so years ago.

How come then all the other competing DAWs dont have this issue, some are way ahead and enable you to have multiple video tracks with many videos per track, some enable you to cut and paste video as easily as if it was audio...  I live in Montreal where there there are big videogame game shops: Ubisoft (with whom I worked) EA etc.. I know of a music writer team that opted for Sonar and then dropped it... guess why... Maybe post production workers represents a small portion of your clients and therefore your company thinks that giving them the propper tools is less important. But I think that you are looking at this the wrong way. I think post production workers represent a small portion of your clients BECAUSE you do not give them the propper tools. I know this sounds hard, but I have allways rooted for Cakewalk and talked about it in a good way to my fellow musician friends, but now Cakewalk is going to have to deliver on the video side of things. I bought so many Sonar evolutions since Sonar 3 and each time I was expecting video to be fully functional and it NEVER happened.. NEVER!
