Me either. Same thing when I load one file (with audio) - it doesn't create the .sfk file and there's no audio created.

Good luck ;-)

Thanks, I'm thinking more and more "codec" - and the conversion idea isn't a bad one - I think I was so focused on "fixing" the problem that I didn't bother going in another direction.

Vegas 9 is more stable and fixed a number of rendering problems I was having with previous versions.
As far as your audio problem, have you taken a look at the audio track to make sure it's being added to the timeline?

Yes I have - and it's not (thought I had said that in the original post, sorry) - it's not creating the .sfk files and that's when the audio is added to the timeline. I'm no guru when it comes to which codecs to install - so thanks for the suggestion on K-Lite. And yeah, I may have to think about upgrading (I'm one of those people who once they get comfortable with a program, doesn't want to change lol - I still don't have anything running Vista, just XP - and I was heartbroken when my last Win98 machine went belly-up earlier this year lol - it was old, but very comfortable to work with

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think 7 works differently than 6 - 6 generates the sfk's as soon as you import the file, before you start working with it.
