[PD] playing video+sound with Gem on Windows

[sven]

i've tried a lot of things to play audio and video in sync.
there's one technique that's really reliable and that works
on all platforms with gem and/or pdp. i've posted it here a while
back - here is it again:

>you'll have to split the audio and the video into individual files and play
>them separately.
>the best way to make sure that a/v stays perfectly in sync would be to play the audio
>with [vline~] + [tabread4~] and [snapshot~] the ouput of [vline~] every [gemhead]
>to determine the frame of the video to be displayed.

the technique above (replace [vline~] with whatever you're controlling your audio playback with)
also works for timestretching, reverse playback and scratching.
and beside the video and the audio file also a dead_chicken.txt is needed because
the framerate of the video needs to be known to pd somehow.
