how to play a video faster (than normal) on windows media player?

I see what you want to do. I should say, however, that this is not my speciality. \n\nI would say that just chopping out 3/4 of the frames would lead to a somewhat jerky video - more like an overfast slide show than a speeded up sunset!\n\nHave you got the free tool, Windows Movie Maker? Here's what it says on the web page:\n\nDoes your video seem to drag? If so, you might want to speed up the action to make it a little more exciting. With the Speed Up, Double video effect, Windows Movie Maker 2 for Windows XP enables you to easily pick up the pace for specific video clips. Here's how:\n\n1. Add the video clip you want to speed up to the storyboard/timeline.\n\n2. In the Video Effects folder, choose the Speed Up, Double effect, and then drag it to the video clip. If you started with a 30-minute video clip, it now plays in 15 minutes.\n\n3. To speed up the clip even more, drag the Speed Up, Double effect to the same video clip again. For example, the video clip would then play in about 7.5 minutes rather than 15 minutes.\n\n4. Continue adding the Speed Up, Double effect until the video is the desired speed.\n\nYou can also slow video clips down. To do that, just add the Slow Down, Half video effect one or more times.\n\nIt seems that there ARE some things that Microsoft are generous about :)

This is a bit like killing a mosquito with a shotgun, but I sugest you install the K-lite Mega codec pack - it contains basically every codec that exists.  While this is overkill for your problem, it should ensure that you never run into a video or audio file that you can't play.\n\nIt also includes the 'media player classic' - which I find to be vastly superior to the newer versions of media player, but you don't have to use it if you like WMP 11.\n\nJust download the file from the link I included and do the default install.  Reboot, and you should be good to go.

Unfortuantly media player is quite tightly tied into Windows.\n\nIf upgrading / downgrading / uninstalling / reinstalling doesn't work then you only have one choice...\n\nReinstall the OS.\n\nI had a very similar problem, and that was the only way to resolve the issue.\n\nAlternativly you could switch to RealPlayer which will play all the same formats and more.

well it might be that the video player you are using or the media player has it's setting set to fast so most likely right click to enter the menu and look for play speed and change it abck to normal

Just install this codec pack \nsf.net/projects/ffdshow\n\nthen you can see any encoded media with other players like mediaplayer then when you play your movie with media player you can see 2 new icon in your tray bar the first one is video setting on movie you can use it to change many things and dozens of option the second one is sound setting then go to volume and doubleclick and make volume to much louder than winodows orginal volume

u only need codecs that u r going to use\nif u have a good pc then having all codecs won't slow performance\nJust make sure to download ONE codec pack and setup it just once (if u wanna change it or update uninstall first)\nthis is to avoid codecs conflicts (that's what packs are good for...the whole package works well with each other) just uninstall if u wanna change (update/install new ones) ur windows codecs\n\nand if u r just wondering what codec is needed to play a specific file...check the tool below

You have a great media player. I use Winamp 5.23, for any audio songs, and I think it's excellent. Windows media player 10 is definitely a superb one, if you want to burn things. \n\nIf you want to see DVD movies, you should have PowerDVD 6 or latest one. \n\nThere are two other media players, Quicktime & Real Player. These are good for enjoying media online.

Windows Media can be a bit temperamental at times.  Try one of these:\n\n1. Update your codecs (http://www.cole2k.net/?display=Codec-Pack-Advanced) or download the latest Windows Media Player codecs from microsoft.com\n\n2. Upgrade to Windows Media Player 11\n(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx)\n\n3. Download VLC player - This is an excellent media player that plays almost all video file formats:  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/\n\nGood Luck!

In WMP,  at top tabs - go to   tools/options/performance/  see if it helps to make adjustments to the "video acceleration" slider, \n\n  or if that doesn't help try\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/mediaadvice/0064.mspx\n\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx

You can embed Windows Media Player on a page and instruct it to play back a specific file.\n\nGoogle "embed Windows Media Player" and you'll get plenty of tutorials.

Clicked your link, sent me to FOX, The vid window started to "buffer" and it took for ever, but the 24 clip played fine here. I did not use or open media player to do it though, I just clicked on their player.
