CL finally has new WDM drivers which fix several problems with LiveWire 3 and DirectX. I just tried these drivers and WCP movie doesn't skip anymore. The movie plays perfectly. Below are instructions I wrote.
For SBLive cards:
When the movie plays and it seems to be playing too fast and skipping, try disabling "Sound Hardware Acceleration".
Control Panel>Multimedia>Advance button>Properties
Also do a find file for "DXDiag" and disable it here too. Remember to re-enable it for other games.
If your OS is Win9x/ME then get the Sound Blaster (Live! series) "sblw9xup.exe" drivers update Revision: SBLW-9XDRV-1-US (Revision 1) Date: 5/5/00 Size: 5.69 MB
If your OS is Win2000 then get the Sound Blaster Live! Drivers Update "lw3drv.exe" Revision: SBLW-2KDRV-W1-US Date: 7/11/00 Size: 4.12 MB
Sound Blaster Live Value to Platinum with LiveWire 3 and Win9x/ME, NT/2000/XP download the new WDM drivers http://www.fdrsoft.fr.fm. This is an advance copy of the official WDM drivers.
To install go to Device Manager and choose Creative SBLive and "Update Driver". The path is C:\ fdrsoft. Make sure to choose the correct update INF file for you OS. (UPDDRV2K.INF or UPDDRV98.INF)
