24 Bit??

[MiXit-G]

If i import a 16 bit audio file the export it to mixdown in 24 bit does it convert to 24??

I tried this and the file was unreadable (windows looks for an appropriate codec)

Are you saying that Cubase is making a 24 bit file that windows media player can't read?

I think this is correct. I do not think that the Windows Media Player can play back 24 bit files. Try using the auto-play option in the Cubase import dialog to sample the file to see if it is corrupted.

Good point Win media probly does'nt support 24bit

Transferring a 16-bit data stream into Cubase set at 24-bit WILL give you 24-bit data, but the left-most bits will be zero'd - so you don't gain any resolution doing this.

You might as well stay at 16-bit in this case (then you'll still be able to play back your files in Media player).
