I never get that. Use the Firefox browser and make sure pop-ups are turned off as well as allowing sites to install software or change the theme of your browser, etc.

The graphics in that Scarface game look atrocious! No human being looks like that! That looks NOTHING like Al Pacino. It' s like he has weights hanging on the edges of his mouth to increase his frown. Thanks to Kikizo I now know NOT to buy this game or even think about it any more ever after I have submitted this post.

EDIT: Oh I see you are using Firefox. Hmmm... Try not using Windows.

Goddamn trendy browsers and their goddamn paranoid security nonsense. Just say yes to the file, all it does is display related stories towards the bottom of articles within an iframe (hence Firefox thinks we' re trying to trojan a file into your browser that you didn' t directly request, give me a break).

Another problem with Fire Fox is that it refuses to play the site' s video files via the web browser..

So I normally use good ol Internet Explorer to watch and download the video files, at least that' s one thing ' IE' does better.

That' s a Firefox problem? I thought it was a problem with Mac compatibility. Oh well, I usually just download the files to disk anyway.

I am curious how they get 60 frames per second out of it, being that most video software records in frames and not fields, and there are only 60 fields per second. Do you de-interlace and then make each field it' s own frame?

You talking about any videos in particular?
How we reach magical 60 frames is a closely guarded secret. ;-)

Too bad they' re not in the superior Quicktime format, then I could really disect them.
My theory is that each frame gets played twice, but we are only seeing 30 frames per second.

OK nevermind I found an app that lets me open WMV fies with the Quicktime player (it plays them soooo much smoother than the Windows Media Player) and it is definitely 60 independent images per second. Obviously each field is an image and the software you use extrapolates the fields.

It' s basically happened with all of the videos I' ve tried streaming so far from various previews and reviews on the site.. Firefox won' t stream them at all, even when I let it sit for a while, BUT Internet Explorer will play them without a problem.

It could be just on my end though, others may or may not be experiencing the same thing with Firefox, which would probably mean that I wound up with the a-hole version of Firefox, lol..
