You mean, for the syncpoint positions?.. I actually have tried that already 
(only the former suggestion), quite a while ago... and found it to be 
completely useless... At least for my test video. The numbers were pretty 
much out of /dev/urandom ...

Actually, hmm, I tried something different, iirc it was '65536 - sp[i-1]' 
or something like that... I'll look into this...

BTW, whats median() ?...
