Hi, I know this is not a windows forum, but I need to know if this thing is implementable on other platforms. I am working with two Sony GV-D200E Video cassette recorders. I have a 1394 card on my PC. I connected the two sony players to my computer through the DV in/out pin. I wrote a program to playback the two sony players simultaneously and display the output on the screen in two different windows, using Microsoft DirectShow and Visual C++. Now I need to synchronize both the players. One way which is simple is to synchronize both of them using the SMPTE time format. But I dont need to synchronize them on SMPTE. The cassettes that I am playing have a "Relative Time Counter" (RTC) in them, I want to synchronize them on the RTC time, but using Microsoft DirectShow I am unable to retrieve the RTC time through these devices. My question is Have anyone in this project ever tried to retrieve the RTC through the DV? Is there any limitation on the sony devices? (I asked sony about this, still waiting for their reply). I posted this question on one of the windows list and they directed me here. Regards Babar Noor |
