If I import video into Sonar Platinum can the video (only) be directed to an external monitor.

Hi. Click "V" to open video view. Right click inside and choose open Video Window. You can then undock the Video View, and drag it to another screen.
All the best.

Thanks Zargg! Now I can watch my full screen HD Video along with my uncompressed 5.1 audio surround sound mix. If I can only find authoring software that uses a better audio encoder than the highly compressed AC3 surround sound encoder when burning to Blu-ray. Cyperlink's Power Director does use a first generation DTS surround sound encoder which is far superior to the AC3 but does not come near in sound to a uncompressed 5.1 mix from Sonar. There are some reasonably priced first and second generation 5.1 audio encoders available. While PC video editing software has made many advances it seems like surround sound audio has not when authoring to media. Surround Sound encoders should be treated like plug-ins when developing authoring software. Sony does have Blue Print authoring software but it is cost prohibitive for small A/V studios.

I've been trying to import an mp4 video into Sonar PLT, which crashes Sonar everytime. Are mp4 videos incompatible with Sonar?

An MP4 should work. When I first started importing video into Sonar 3X (before Sonar PLT) I found out it will not take an MPEG2 file. All my videos imported into Sonar PLT are MP4s. When you film video what is the original media file?
