OK, Klaus - the K-Lite Codec Packs worked!

I'm playing .MOV files in Sonar 64-bit.

I'm totally psyched!

Thanks a ton - this is awesome!

this is a cool forum ain't it....I'm going to have to try this.  I wont change the way I work, but hey,  being versatile never hurts.

Woww. Thanks Klaus.

It works!!!

You're all very welcome! 
Glad it helped.

@sqye: So, how about changing the thread title a bit, to "...workaround" or "...solved" or something, for other users who'll use the search button and might find this helpful...
(up to you, of course, not a must) 

Best,
Klaus

OK, just tested - and this is correct, Steve - the thumbnails do not show.
 
This is not a deal breaker - because I can use an .AVI converted in Vegas Home Studio HD,
and I'm planning to use Vegas Home Studio HD for basic video edits and ungrouping audio/video, anyway. 
But I wonder if there's a workaround for this?
 
Klaus? :)

Im glad the codec pack is working for everyone.  Just a heads up, Cake tech support pointed me to this page last year, I tried downloading the pack from this site and got a nasty virus on my computer.

There are actually 3 different places that say "download" on the page.  Maybe I picked the wrong one, but it seems anyones guess which "download" is the correct one? 

Good luck and hopefully they cleaned up the page

Ooh, sorry guys, I honestly thought it was a problem with my new system / graphic driver or something that caused the non refreshing thumbnail preview. Now it's obviously not... :(
I've been looking through the various settings of the codecs, but unfortunately didn't find a solution.
Well, it should work, shouldn't it? It doesn't make sense.
So, maybe it's a bug and will hopefully be fixed in a future version of the codec pack or it's related to a wrong preference setting.
I will do more tests but for now, it's not looking good. Sigh...

Best,
Klaus

fwrend, those are links to the 32-bit pack, as far as I can tell. We need the 64-bit pack.

I found this older thread and thought I would post this here to help people out, since I was having the same exact problem with 64 bit Sonar.  My clients keep sending me mov and mp4 files, and previously I had to do conversions.  Now I can import the mov files directly without issue.  Here is my repost from another topic:
 
I am posting this here as a helpful tip for anyone trying to get HD video to either a) import properly into Sonar 64 bit, or b) play smoothly and in sync once it does import.  There are a great number of crappy free codec "solutions" out there that can do more harm than good.  I am working on a (non-film scoring) project with a company that actually masters consumer Blu-ray content, and they sent me a link to a codec download that totally solved my problems getting HD video to play properly within 64 bit Sonar.  When I was researching how to solve this problem, it seemed like many others out there were having the same issues (unable to import video, horrible playback), so I thought I would share the solution I found here. 
 
To find the specific pack I downloaded, Google "google lav filters 0.58.2" with the word "google" actually in the search window.  That brings you directly to a safe download that does not try to install other software along with the filters.  You can just Google LAV filters and find other versions; all I know is that this version worked perfectly for me.  I am now able to import .mov, .mp4 and avi files that use H264 without any problems.
