I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out a problem with pix_record. I'm running mac 10.7.1, new to PD and would appreciate any advice. I'm chromakeying a live video input of 1024 X 576 and a jpg of the same dimensions to a live audience very soon. I'm using pix_record to capture the live video input of a person while using writesf~ to capture their voice. The video and audio are saved into two different files and need to be synced together during the performance. The captured audio file seems to be at normal speed, however the problem is that pix_record seems to be compressing the video so that it is a few secs shorter that the audio, making this impossible to sync afterward. I have a suspicion that it's an codec issue, it is currently a BMP. I tried to change it to H.264, photo.jpeg and many other ones, but i only seem to get "unable to set the codec" error. I've also tried to change the codec settings in the dialog message of pix_video but that doesn't seem to change the length of the video to match the audio. I'm also trying to change the sample rate of writesf~ in the open message but i cannot figure out the syntax usage. For example, i'm writing this as suggested by the console:
open [-bytes [234]] [-aiff] [-big] [-rate 4800] /Volumes/DATA/moodradar/sound.aiff
Anyway, like i said, would appreciate some help, thanks!
