Something like this should work. Next time you might want to post your patch as it makes it easier for people to help.

It's a bit unclear exactly what you're trying to do. But if you are trying to synchronize playback of two movies, send one jit.qt.movie object a "gettime" message, then parse the result from the right outlet dumpout to send the other jit.qt.movie object a "time $1" message. If you need synchronized playback from different points in each movie, add or subtract from the number used with "time $1".

It's also worth noting that source material in any codec that uses temporal compression (such as DV) does not gracefully handle jumping to new random points in the file. A codec that uses spatial compression only (such as Photo-JPEG) will do better with this.

FWIW, DV does not use inter-frame (aka temporal) compression, though, spatially and chromatically, is more lossy than high quality photo- jpeg. If performing a sizeable number of "bounces" through some processing network, I would recommend a lossless codec such as Animation or PNG (the latter is much more bandwidth/diskspace friendly than Animation):

More information, including examples of loss through iterated decoding/encoding at my favorite codec site:

Wow that is a great resource. Thanks for the heads up. Ive read Adam Wilts site before, but somehow have never seen this..
