Hi does anyone know of a good way to synchronize separate (video/audio)
recorded streams during playback?

For example takea video conferencing app; I can can record each stream
separately but during playback is there anything i can do force them to be
synchronized? From reading around, it seems like the answer is "No".. Any
thoughts?

Unfortunately, what you've found from your reading is pretty much it. There is
no way to sync FMS streams reliably.[/q]

Thats very interesting considering the effort Macromedia took to provide
playback functionality in streams (video/audio and even data). It almost seems
like an oversight that streams can't be synchronized.

Thanks for the reply Jay.

Yeah... the big problem is that you can't hold data in buffer when you pause a
stream. You can sync progressively downloaded flv's (since you can pause one
when you need to), but if you pause or seek an FMS stream, all of the data in
buffer gets dumped. Very frustrating.
