Re: I'm now using VideoSlave to host video instead of DP, wh

Looks like I forgot to answer that last question of yours ... just checking in again and saw it. Sorry for the huge delay ;-) Yes, highly compressed files (using codecs like H.264) are not the best choice for frame-accurate sync timing. I did a lot of testing and found out that VirtualVTR had the ve...

Re: I'm now using VideoSlave to host video instead of DP, wh

The best codecs regarding CPU efficiency are intra-frame only codecs like Apple Pro Res or DNx for example. "Takes less CPU" actually always means way bigger files. A factor of 8 times the size or more is possible and normal. In terms of synchronization and tight playback in Video Slave, a...

Re: I'm now using VideoSlave to host video instead of DP, wh

So this latest update finally made the demo workable for me. It was great to see that the fullscreen stays even after switching onto the next video (although with a slight twitch). It was this feature that I desperately need that DP doesn't provide. It would be great if it would be seamless going f...

I'm sorry, but you can't.
Video Slave is OS X 10.6 Intel only.

Best,

Re: I'm now using VideoSlave to host video instead of DP, wh

Hi PJ, yeah, it works with MMC and network MIDI. BUT : the problem is that DP isn't able to send MMC over LAN. Brian got in touch with "Magic Dave" at MOTU to make sure. Emails found below : I am trying to send MMC out from DP 7.24 (running Lion 10.7.5) over a network MIDI port setup using...

Re: I'm now using VideoSlave to host video instead of DP, wh

I would definitely say so! Just download the demo version from http://www.non-lethal-applications.com and try around with it. It has a 5 minute demo timeout which will be sufficient to see if you are content with it. There's an update coming out by the end of this week ( code is already written, jus...

Re: I'm now using VideoSlave to host video instead of DP, wh

Hi Charles, I hope you don't mind me answering your question. As far as I know, Brian is not in town for a few days. As flutemaker wrote ( previous page ), Video Slave also works flawlessly over WiFi. But as the connection quality depends a lot on the router in use, I would recommend using a wired n...
