Why are my VCD mpegs speeding up?

[SteyrAUG]

I have some mpegs in VCD format that I KNOW are ok because I've burned them and they are fine on my DVD players and they previously played fine.

But recently they seem "speeded up" especially if I jog through them a bit. Anyone else ever had this problem?

I've downloaded a few codecs required for some recently obtained movies but I'm not sure if that is the culprit.

You've probably changed the framerate when you encoded your VCD. Check to see what your source file framerate is.

But VCD I recorded months ago are also doing it.

When I burn them onto a CDR and play them in a DVD player they are fine. But when I play the mpegs on widnows media player they are screwed up.

This is happening to all my mpegs, which a week ago, all played fine.

note the bold word, there's your problem, i have a similar problem sometimes, only mine's with audio, and it in turn speeds up the whole movie, usualy if i reboot and just go straight to watching the movie it'll work at normal speed, if not, partition your HD back up all your files and reinstall windows.

I had the same problem in windows, and it started right after I installed Ulead DVD-Workshop. I think that it is caused by the direct-show filters that it added, the ones by LSX. I stoped using it after I instaled another program that changed the filter that is used for MPEG playback.

Is there any program you installed recently afterwhich this problem started?
