Sync Video to Ableton Live	Can't Post

I've discovered a way of syncing video to Ableton Live.
Well a few ways actually, but this last one is unique in that it allows looping, follow actions and you to drop in on the clip anywhere you like.

It uses a vst plug in live which sends values to Isadora via OSC
Using clip envelopes you ramp the value of a parameter from 0 to 100%, exactly over the length of the clip.
Thus via osc you have clip position in Isadora!

I developed the plugin (using Max/Pluggo) after discovering OSCglue: http://vvvv.org/tiki-index.php?page=OSCGlue
I don't think (could be wrong) OSCGlue allows you to play audio through it so I decided to make my own version.
I later realized this audio problem could be worked around by routing the audio in live to another track but hey ho, too late by then.

My version also works on OS X 10.5 although it seems to crash Tiger.

If anyone wants to try this out, let me know. I can't vouch for stability or even accuracy but seems to work here.

Yeah I am aware of JAM and have tried the Beta/Demo.
It is really good work and will be even better when its ready for proper official release.

Me I like to tinker with stuff though so I doubt if an off the shelf solution will ever fit everything I want to do!

Strange - it works here - could be a browser issue?
