Just posting this to point out that my movies desync when I disable sound. Is this a bug or a feature? I know disabling sound allows for faster emulation, but it seems like a trivial reason for a movie to desync. Are there plans to fix this? Thanks.

It is weird, I never got my movies desyncing when I disable the sound (and I disable it really often). I think it would be good if you put the gmv which gives you such behavior.

Maybe post the movie file you used and see if someone else has that problem as well.

Well, this is embarrassing. I just tested my movie again with sound disabled and it synced fine. I was getting consistent desyncs last night and the only option I changed to fix it was enabling sound. I'll post if it happens again.

I've just had a similar problem, and I'm glad to see there was a solution (kind of). Just had my movie desync, losing me about 22000 frames, wondered what the hell was going on. It is in fact the sound which causes it, which is mega weird. The problem only occurs when the emulator is loaded with the sound already off. -With sound initially off, I get desync. Load a state and play it again, desync. Yet if I pause and switch on sound, even during movie playback, the section will then sych properly. -Start with sound initially on, no problem. Turn off sound during movie, still no problem, thus it only gets affected if the emulator is loaded up with the sound off. Gens Re-recording V11a Toejam & Earl in Panic on Funkatron
