Meanwhile, what recommendations does anyone have for other methods of making a DVD of Gem output,
I record my actions during performance, then later play them back into my patch with pix_write and writesf~ activated. Pd uses 1000% CPU load, and stutters during rendering, but audio and video remain in sync.
I have the [gemwin] at 720x576 25fps, for PAL DVD rendering.
Then simply encode the TIFF files with your video software - I have a longwinded process that works with the following free tools:
for video:
convert manypngtoppm [1] ppmtoy4m y4mscaler (because ppmtoy4m is crap at chroma subsampling) mpeg2enc
for audio:
audacity (to trim to exact length, normalize volume, etc) twolame
then:
mplex
and finally:
dvdauthor mkisofs growisofs
*not* necessarily involving having Gem itself create a file?
maybe recordmydesktop - but I seem to recall it supports only Ogg codecs...
BTW, I'm on Linux, but the above tools might work on OS X too.
