Well now that I've got the import problem fixed, now it's not letting me export an .avi. Here's what is happening. I import the .avi file, normalize the volume, then export it. It succeeds exporting the Audio Stream, but in the middle of exporting the video with the Audio Stream, I get an error message that says, "The disk may be full or write-protected, or the file is incompatible with the compressor you're using. Access Denied". There's a problem with that message.
1. I'm not using any compression on the audio or the video.
2. The drive I'm using (An external hard drive), is not full.
3. The drive is not write-protected.
4. I know for sure that the file is not corrupt.




I would give up on exporting video from Sonar 8.5. Its notoriously inefficient, plus if you do manage to export the video it will probably end up about 8-10gb and the video will stutter.
 
X3e comes with a new video engine (that still needs ALOT of work IMHO)
 
Always the best bet is to import your video successfully into Sonar (which you have done). Compile the audio, export the audio and then resync the audio to video in an external programme. A cheap and easy way to replace/add audio onto a video is with Quicktime Pro. Others use Vegas. (I personally use Premiere)....Even Windows Movie Maker isnt so bad depending on your target delivery.
 
Best of luck!


Can Windows Movie Maker "normalize" audio?




Not entirely sure, i'm pretty sure that feature is in there (Movie Maker is free on systems running pre Win 8) but Sonar will handle anything like that. Much better to handle anything audiowise within Sonar.
