Hi Folks
I think that this is a nice challenge.
I would like to build a database which (among other things) will be able to "Play" back text/images and sound with very rigid timmings.
Each soundfile will be linked to a series of pictures / text that gets displayed on the screen.
I would like to sunchronise the text/images to be displayed at specific points to co-incide with the sound file.
For example - I wish to highlight syllables within words, so if the user is hearing the word "wonderful", then
"WON" is highlighted as the "wun" is heard.
"DER" is highlighted as the ""der" part is played etc etc.
In order to achieve this, I need to store the EXACT "timing" points in a table so that I can monitor when the playhead reaches that point, and stop/start the playhead and text/images accordingly.
So the big questions are:
1. Can the windows media playhead be controlled with this type of precision?
2. How would I pass the "timing" point value back to the database/table?
I am currently doing all this using a myriad of software tools, but would like to consolidate this into one database if possible.
Thanks for any input.
