I am using V8.15 on 2 different computers. Videos used on each are identical. On one when I load two videos with different frame rates (25.00 and 29.97 f/s) for comparison and set a synch point for them they play fine at 100% speed as well as any reduced speed and retain synch. On the second computer, upon using the same videos and procedures to synch to exactly the same point when videos are played the rates of play automatically change to different rates and they fail to maintain synch. All settings for the V8.15 appear to be identical. I have even copied the V8,15 download from the computer that seems to work properly to the second and the results still differ. I am confused and lost and would appreciate any assist available.

I have also read the forums concerning synchronization problems but haven't found any that seem to adequately address and explain this issue to me.

Thanks in advance.

Problem might be that in one case the software/computer can't maintain the frame rate and automatically decreases the speed.
Synchronization shouldn't break though. Are speeds decreased to a different value in each video ?

A workaround could be to manually decrease speed prior to clicking play, or only use frame by frame synchronization (using the frame navigation slider in the common controls).

Yes, the speeds become different in each window...the values of each playback decrease from 100 to unequal lesser values. It doesn't matter what speed they may be set at to start, they still both change speeds to varying rates. I have no issue with the manual frame by frame aspect of the program.
