[PD] recording GEM output weird framerate

Hi,
thanks for your fast reply!
I think I know how to use the object, but it seems it doesn't behave as it
should, or I am missing something.

I've been using pix_write with [auto 1( or in combination with pix_snap, and
my gemwin is set to 20.

The issue is that when ffmpeg build the movie out of the images sequence (at
20 fps), the resulting video is shorter then it should (i.e. 1 minute
instead of 3).
...the same happens when I use pix_record.

does anybody have an idea about it?

cheers,

M
