Hello Pal,

I asked Mike about the same thing. Mike is using movie maker. It does not support all formats.

Please let me know if you come across anything new.

All the best,

I think there is a bit of confusion here.

Emad, your question to Mike related to reducing the data rate of video. You can contact me by email and I will help you sort your problems out on that.

Rami, there are several software players that will slow down the speed of video when played back. What is the format of the video at present? i.e avi, mpg, mva, mov.

Regards,

Greg

Real media, I would like to slow down the play back of the learn to play videos on this site so I can get a better grasp of them.

Greg,

you are right, I guess I got mixed up. I thought Rami is after the same thing.


Rami,

All well here my friend ... thanks for your kind wishes.

I remember posting Samra ya samra I forgot it was for you.

No worries budd. I also have a nice Palastinian song to share with you. What is your e-mail.?

Cheers,

Rami,

There are several full-on editing applications that will allow you to slow down all kinds of video files, but the files must be rendered. You need one that just allows you to play back the files at reduced speed, without rendering.

I don't think you can slow down real media video files in this way. You will probably need to download a shareware converter to get the files to mpeg-1. Once they are in that format, there are a few cheap shareware mpeg-1 editors that have the capability that you require. The best I have found are "VCDCut Pro" from Jiao Systems and "MyFlix" from Mediaware Solutions. However, it seems Mediaware is now targeting the broadcast market and may have dropped this product (MyFlix). It is (was) the best of the bunch for handling MPEG-1 files.

I am the co-developer of a sports analysis software application that also uses a MPEG-1 player engine with speed variation capabilities. If this is somethng that a few people want, I will check with our software guy to see if he can knock together a free standalone version.

Don't forget that the pitch of the sound will change when you slow down the video play back.

I hope this information is helpful.

Regards,

Greg
