What video player plays audio clearly when video is sped up?
tinjaw:
I remember, years ago, watching episodes of Star Trek Next Generation on my computer. I was watching them at 2x real time. The player I was using adapted the audio so it just sounded like people were talking twice as fast instead of becoming chipmunk speak.
I have some HowTo videos, for example from ShowMeDo, that I want to watch a second, or third, or fourth time, to remind myself how something is done, but I don't want to do so at the slow pace that is necessary for a first viewing.
A preferable solution would be free or open source. Probably a plugin for something like VLC Media Player.
Anybody know of any such solution?
mouser:
great question.

KMPlayer should do this. well, it does it with most videos, not sure about ALL videos.
nosh:
KMPlayer (shift++) gives me the chipmunk effect.
Try Winamp with the Pacemaker plugin as a last resort - it allows you to increase the tempo without affecting pitch, does it really well for audio files. I tried it with some videos and had mixed results mainly coz I use KMPlayer for video and Winamp does not care for my codecs. When the videos did play the pitch sounded normal.
Edit: 200% limit, unless they've updated the plugin.

PowerDVD can do this up to 3x speed. Not a cheap one, though. (Using version 5, not sure about its successors.)
