Description
When a video is playing as part of a room background, it is paused during transitions between room but the sound (correctly, I assume) keeps playing. To compensate, the video speeds up briefly after each transition. This looks strange to me. It would probably be better if it skipped frames instead. Here is a quick-and-dirty experiment to do so:
`
diff --git a/engines/myst3/movie.cpp b/engines/myst3/movie.cpp
index bb163e82b8..00eee8832e 100644
--- a/engines/myst3/movie.cpp
+++ b/engines/myst3/movie.cpp

}
}
| _isLastFrame)) { |
| _isLastFrame)) { |
bool complete = false;
if (_isLastFrame) {
`
But for one thing it may not be the best way to do so, and for another I'm afraid it would introduce frame skipping where it's not desired. As I said, it's just an experiment to see the difference.
I'm attaching a savegame of the part where I noticed this.
