Avi's are 10fps mjpeg recoded in avidemux.

Audio 44.1 wav in audacity
All files play fine on the windows computer on their own.  I do get audio and one video, which works great.

They also play fine in my earlier patch when I was first experimenting with GEM and video.  I went the Neupert way because I wanted more control.

Other problem is that my ancient laptop wont come anywhere near running the patch, which is why I'm at a friends house.

Aargh, this is bad, supposed to hand this in tomorrow.

I have to go for a few hours but will be back later.  Back at my friends in the morning but will be online again in a few hours.

Attached is my original patch too.

What I want is the ability to scrub audio and video but something that works.  Obviously.
I was using [redanysf~] but the work needs to be seen on windows and mac and readanysf doesn't seem to work on windoze.

I guess the most frustrating thing is that I have spent all afternoon wrestling with something that seems to be working on other computers. I added the [set( message as I have been trying anything I could think of.

Thanks again,

Jb

No, your first patch is working fine when i remove the loadbang.
Can you tell us which codec you use for your movies and your
audiofiles ?
