I've used the low tech method of vcr decks and camera all going into an anaogue mixer to a projector. Also with video feedback. Mixed like this for a few parties and for bands.
Pre recorded loops on mini Dv and VHS tape. Just mix with the DJ s or band.
Though now adays it can be quite synced to the music using software. Also this means that you can for installations, theatre and dance get the audience/performer to trigger the visuals with a variety of intefaces using Cycling74 s MAX/JITTER and also with MSP the sounds as well.
Puredata and GEM.
Down to something like simpler such as Archaos.
Not to mention that you get DVD decks that enable you to scratch video like vinyl.
But there is no hard and fast rule for what gets the right result.
So look for club events and installations. Which is why we need an installation forum as mentioned before else where.
