ok, i can do multitracking in cubase,
but last week a friend of mine asked my help,
he's making a 3 minute video clip,
and i "did the sound"

all the audio files and FX were ready, and i wanted to import everything
in cubase sx 2.0, i created a new project (VIDEO FOR PAL - im in europe)

works fine, importing audio and video works,
BUT,
from the moment i click on that video file (in cubase), or if i try to play the video back in cubase my computer reboots,
i even had a Blue Screen Of Death...

first thing i thought = OK, i got too many video codecs installed,
maybe there are built in codecs in cubase...

uninstalled my other codecs, same problem

second thingi thought, mhhh, that blue screen of death, isn't that because my RAMM has an error.... i know i don't have a high quality DDR ram thing in my pc ... might be the cause too

so did anyone have this problem before ,
the pc reboots every time i try to open or play a little MPEG file in cubase

i just don't know wheater its a hardware or software problem

cheers,
earworm
 
OK, I have to ask: Are you using a "cracked" version of the software?
 
no i'm not,
right now i got an official version of Acid 4.0 installed since i had problems with the official cubase version,
cubase isn't mine, i'm just using it from a friend, and yeah, thats illegal too, but i don't think this can cause problems,
i can do heavy multitrack recordings, but i can't open a 30 MB mpeg,
and i have no problems importing a 600 MB divx !

i still think its some kind of hardware problem;..
 
Good news Earworm! I know exactly what the problem is.

The bad news is i'm gonna request that you license your copy of Cubase before I tell ya.
 
It's very simple. Just borrow the manual from your friend. It will be as plain as day why this doesn't work.
