I'm having a problem with the cutscenes in ff xii, during the cutscene the screen will flicker black every now and then. It only appears to happen with hardware mode (both dx11 and dx9), it doesn't happen in software mode. disabling speedhax doesn't help.
I'm running 1.0.0, hardware:
AMD phenom 2 965 3.4 Ghz
AMD 6850
4 Gb RAM
Windows 7 64 bit

For some akward reason, the PAL versions of both FF XII and X have their FMVs encoded diferently than their NTSC counterparts. I also was using the PAL version of the game and was having a very slight sttutering as well as noticeable interlacing (more so in FF X), and I can assure you that these problems are not present at all in the NTSC version of the game, which runs wonderfuly and transitions from ingame to FMVs flawlessly.

PCSX2 1.0 has problems with FF series FMVs in all game versions other than NTSC-U. Not only PAL, FFX International (NTSC-J) FMVs suck as well. I dunno what PCSX2 team does recently but they seem to be a bit lazy to test on other game versions.
As far as I know there is a hack in recent svns that automatically switches GSDX to software mode when PCSX2 detects a FMV.

you have 2 options.
while the video is running, press F9 to toggle in to software mode, this should work much better, or get the latest SVN version and tick the box in the game fixes section which says something along the lines of "switch to software mode during FMV's"
If it isnt there its either under the GS tab or Speedhacks. I've never actually used/seen this option since its been added so excuse the inaccuracy in direction ;p

/to terminento You're kidding? The FMVs when Tidus meets Wakka, Kimahri battle, Sin attacks S.S Likki, Mi'ihen Operation... All of them blink unless you switch to software mode.
Tested on PCSX2 1.0.

That's odd, I just got to Wakka's and pissed Kimari's cutscenes and it was just fine. But it might be that I'm using SVN v5418 and have automatic fixes on. Maybe it has been solved already?
