Have you been annoyed by PAL-encoded movies playing a little faster than usual, where the music's tempo is wrong and everyone talks a little faster?
If you have VLC, here's how to fix it:
- Open VLC.
- Go to the 'VLC' menu and select 'Preferences…'
- In the radio buttons in the lower-left corner of the window, change 'Basic' to 'All'.
- Click on 'Input / Codecs' in the left-hand side list.
- In the right-hand side frame look for 'Playback speed' and change it to 0.96 (use a comma if your system uses that as the decimal separator).
- Click on 'Audio' in the left-hand side list.
- In the right-hand side frame disable 'Enable time stretching audio'.
- Click the 'Save' button on the lower-right corner of the window.
- Quit and relaunch VLC.
Enjoy your PAL movie at the correct speed!
