I had no trouble is slowing the video down. Even having

you might guess, as soon as the frame rate is meddled with

I then extracting the mp3, re-encoded it as an swf changing the
frame rate, then attempted to sync it with the original video.
That sort of works, but it is quite tricky to get not spot on.
I can post the scraps of swfc code I came up with, but, I'm not
exactly sure where that leaves us.
Could you redefine your problem? Why exactly did you wish to
have two videos at different frame rates. Is this with or without
audio?
Chris,
many thanks for your help and sorry for not having answered before.
I was wrong assuming that to embed different videos (video files
converted into SWF) I should set them to the lowest fps rate. It seems
to be the highest one, otherwise videos with decreased frame rates will
be played too slow.
In the meantime, I discovered a way to set a different frame rate in a
video file, that seems to work, such as “ffmpeg -i saturn5.avi -r 50
saturn.swf“.
My problem is the following. I recreated this presentation:
http://www.ousia.tk/freeculture.php and I would like to be able to
generate presentations like http://lessig.blip.tv/file/3730123/. I tend
to think that my method is better (thanks to all people involved in
SWFTools :-)), but it has a major shortcoming: it is not possible to
embed videos in the final presentation (I'm consciously avoiding
external playing).
Setting the same frame rate for the SWF containers and all child
elements seems to solve the problem. I haven't checked it, but I guess
it should work (sound too).
But there is something I simply don't get. It is possible to generate
PDF files that contain a SWF video player, such as
http://flv-player.net/, that plays the embedded video in whichever
format it might be
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/flashmovie/). And
in this case there is no problem with different frame rates in embedded
videos. Why is this not possible within SWF files?
Thanks for your help,
Pablo
