VIDEOGAP

Video offset

What is it?

VIDEOGAP defines the place in the video file from which the playback should start in seconds.

Negative value means that the video should be played from the beginning but start only after defined number of seconds.

What is it used for?

To resynchronize video and audio. Audio playback always starts immediately. Negative VIDEOGAP value means that the video playback should begin later - after audio playback. Positive value means that video should start immediately but be rewined e.g.

-3.2 VIDEOGAP: audio playback will start with no video at first, video playback will start only when 3.2 seconds pass.

3.2 VIDEOGAP: video playback will start together with audio but not from the start - from the frame at 3.2 seconds.

How to determine the value?

By trial and error. Just set some value and check the song in the game to check if audio and video tracks are synchronized.
