Are you talking using a computer or a settop player?

If computer: Use ReStream to change the flag that says the Frame Rate and save as a new file. No re-encodes so will look just as good. Should play at the new speed (probably should be a valid MPEG speed, though).

If settop, you probably have to use a Video Editor (Premiere, Vegas, etc) or VirtualDub or AfterEffects and adjust the speed/add speed effect, and then re-encode with the new speed. This WILL lose quality.

(Wait a minute--If you don't use a valid MPEG/VCD/DVD speed after re-encoding, you probably can't author it for settop use.)
My preference then would be to use a Motion Effect in AfterEffects, which will give the faster speed (and probably less playtime), but will still play out at the standard FPS.

HTH,
Scott

Set top player.

Basically I have a file I want to speed up for comedy value and add music to it.

Thanks for your reply.

Vegas does this very well ...

after effects also and a lot of other high end software ...
