Hello,
I agre with inserting the Audio or droping the video Frame can server the
problem,
But my issue is row data of the conference is created initially using
1. Windows Media Encoder for Video without sound.
2. 3rd Party Dll provides me the Audio files for individual users in the
conference.
(I do not have any control over Audio at the Run time)
Now when STOP is triggered
1. I have to mix all the WAV files generated by DLL and then
2. mix it with Video file I have created using Windows Media encoder and
create FINAL VIDEO file.
In such case I can not get all users audio syncronized with video file as
for example
User A audio Play time is 5:00 minutes
User B audio Play time is 4:57 minutes
User C audio Play time is 4:53 minutes
User D audio Play time is 4:55 minutes
Then in the MIX file I can here A till 5:00 B till 4:57, C till 4:53 & D
till 4:55 in 5:00 minutes of MIX audio file.
Where my problem resides.... if this is solved then my all worries are
over...
So if group members can throw some lights on this front then it will be
appriciated.
Regards,
Bipin Mistry.
