Subject: New Review Formats

I love the idea of running videos showing the real-time motion in games such
as Magic Carpet 2 and the various Playstation Reviews. However, since you
implemented the video overlaying the still frame, I get an annoying sound
hiccup at the very beginning and the last second of the sound cuts out early.
It seems like the video starts running, then the still frame accesses the CD
causing the hiccup. Therefore the video is out of synch for the rest of the
page and I miss the last second or two of sound. Is this a problem only on my
machine? Or are your technowizards attempting to solve this problem already?

Also, the still frame looks pretty haggard while the video is running. I'm
running 16mil colors through Win95 so I figured I should be able to see a
crystal clear stillframe as well as watch a full-color video. Is this normal?

Thanks for your attention to my questions. I love your magazine and that's
why I ordered the three-year subscription.
