Abstract:

The inventive method is a method for synchronizing computerized video images with an audio output. The audio output may be in the form of an audio track stored on a compact disk. The synchronization method uses a timing index which corresponds to the audio track on the compact disk. The computer repeatedly reads the audio timing index and compares it to a data table of known video timing codes. Each time the compact disk timing index is read and determined to be greater than or equal to the current value from the data table the next video image is shown.
