Sorry...I forgot to add list address.

Finally I have made a patch to store video data into tables (R, G and B
tables) with list and tabwrite. Sorry, but I got confused with list objetcs
(working very late at night isn't so good ;-)
Attached is the new patch.

But now I have 2 options: to work with tables (reading tables values with
tabread and manipulating this values) or to work without tables,
manipulating lists directly to extract each value I need. What's the best
option in terms of computational effectivity? (I use a lot of data which
require a lot of cpu, so I need to minimize computational cost). I will use
this video data for audio synthesis.


as for iemmatrix, isn't it part of pd-extended? i will put a binary

I would like to take a look at iemmatrix. Please, tell me where I could find
the binary for win32.

Saludos!
