Video files incl. audio, Sync problems

[Julia Foest]

Dear all,

one of our customers played several video files (mpeg including multiplexe audio) with Pandoras Media Player at the same time and got big performance problems (file stutter, taking minutes for toggle to fullscreen).

We always recommend to encode files including audio to mpeg elemantary video only and a seperate wav-file.
After doing this the player now works well playing the files.

There was also another problem with having the video file on layer1 and the audio file on layer2. They programmed with a lighting desk:
CUE1: Selecting Video and Audio, Stop first frame, CUE2: Opacity to full and Play. Video and Audio ran out of sync because when waiting on a stop key the files are not loaded into the cash and so take different load times when getting the play command.

Workaround: Instead of taking "Stop first frame" please use the "Pause" command, then the files will be loaded the whole time till they get the play command.

Best regards,
Julia
