os x jerky video

[Eric Koltes]

That's a great idea! - I am still toying with getting the syncing correct -
but after I fix that - I will try the executable file...

Is there a way to verify (other than how the video appears to be lined up
with the audio) of telling whether or not the desync command worked.  In
other words - is there a way to view the settings prior to and after trying
the syncing command?
