Are there any video players for Windows that can play at different speeds?

Question

When I was an undergrad I used to watch videos of lectures on tape. The library had these cool videos that let you watch at double speed. The voice would be high pitched, but I was able to get through them a lot faster. These days are long gone because everything is digitized. Is there any way to watch videos at double speed, including the audio, on my Windows machine?

Answer 1

VLC can do this. Look for the "Faster" option under the Playback menu. And unlike those old lecture tapes, VLC will adjust the pitch for you, too.

Answer 2

Windows Media Player can do it as well:

Answer 3

I'm sure that Cyberlink PowerDVD can handle what you want.
