hmm. I'd guess at one of two things. Firstly you have frame skipping enabled. That mightcause the FMV to skip a bit, but I've never used it so I cannot say for sure. Problem there is with a machine of such specs you probs need it enabled to get decent peformance elsewhere.... You could try enabling/disabling it in game for those sequences.

Another thing to try would be to run it from a HDD image file.

are you using Eternals and it's special game fix?

it maybe the frame skipping... turn it off.

> and it's special game fix?

I though there are no more special game fix for FF8?

from the Eternal 1.41 readme:

Quote:

2-4-0. [Special game fix] - Update before accessing register

These are options for solving the problems in specific games.
Keep in mind that these options have great load depending on states.

[Unchecked]
--> When register reading, DirectSound buffer is not updated.

[Checked]
--> When register reading, DirectSound buffer is updated.
This option is effective in following games.
Ex.)
* FinalFantasy8 <SQUARE> : Opening BGM / air plane BGM
* FinalFantasy9 <SQUARE> : Air plane BGM
* ChronoCross <SQUARE> : BGM No.59
* DragonQuest7 <ENIX> : Ending BGM
* GensoSuikoden2 <KONAMI> : Battle BGM ...etc

[Checked Gray]
--> Obsoleted.

In other words....it's still there
