Re: CinemaSix 1.2 beta Developer-only preview

I watched Spider-man with my wife using 1.2 last night.  Some 
observations:

1) No problem just choosing the VIDEO_TS.IFO from the GUI - worked great
2) Chapter navigation worked fine
3) Lip sync was great - right up until we had to hit pause to take a 
phone call.  After that, it was spotty, and drifted in and out.  
Hitting Rotate to reestablish was not always successful.
4) Had a couple of times when the video/audio would "freeze" up 
momentarily - stop and start a few times, and then continue on without 
intervention.  Could be some issue on my network, but I have a 
completely switched gigabit network with no other load on the server at 
the time.
5) All in all - it was an experience that nearly achieved WAF (wife 
acceptance factor).  Thanks Sujal!
