Cannot get video to work. Trying EVERY type of format!
Maybe this problem is specific to my machine, because Sonar used to be MUCH better with video. I never remember having so many problems with video in Sonar!! I was given an H.264 video file, which used to work with Sonar (back in the 7 days? am I making that up?). I get this message when trying to load:  OK, no prob. So I tried converting it to a format that has always worked for me: DVCPRO .avi. I get the same message! I've also tried JPG2000, and a number of other formats, but nothing seems to work. Someone please help! Thanks! -Alex

I should also say... I'm running Sonar 8.5 on Vista 64bit with 32 GB of RAM and a decent video card (don't have model ATM). i7 processor, 2.66 GHz. Thanks!

Did you install 8.5 as the downloadable update for 8.0, or as the full version (DVDs)?
Seems like there's been a fair amount of glitchy behavior attributed to the former.

I downloaded 8.5-- and should say that 8.3.1 wasnt so hot with video either... just now I'm almost completely non-functional.

you probably juz lack of some codecs, get the k-lite codecs pack free, they also have a 64 bit pack...

I think I figured it out... I've been converting .mov's - .avi's in Quicktime, which apparently is a no-no. 32-bit Sonar works just fine with these video files! Soooo. if I want to be working in Sonar x64, what program should I use to convert video? Thanks!

QuickTime movie formats are 32 bit and thus will not import into Sonar x64. This is an Apple issue, not a Cakewalk issue.
FYI, best video formats to work with in Sonar are wmv and avi.

Well, you could ask that guy who's always adventizing video converters on the site..... :-P J/K of course.
I have Premier Pro, so I use that if I need to convert anything. Can't recommend any converters as I don't use/trust them (at least not the free ones). Can't you ask him/her to send you WMV files instead? Installing freebies, especially codecs, can mess up the playback of some file formats. This is an advice I have been giving by the good people in the Adobe forums.

most people working on films don't even know what wmv is, seriously. US is such a mac country- it's all about the MOV unfortunately. What a big pain in the butt!

I know how you feel.
I don't understand why people can't give you what you need.
You'd think that they would be willing to help you out and make the job easier for you.
WMV is a standard format on the PC, so I'm sure they could provide it to you if they wanted.
