Super fast video playback - framerate changing, timeshifting

[KOJV]

I really need help changing the framerate in VirtualDubMod. I'm creating a timeshifted road movie. I've been trying all kinds of settings at Video/Framerate, but I can only get the movie down to half it's lenght in time. Input is 15 FPS XVID. Can you please suggest me framerate settings? Thanks.

The goal is to reduce 30 hours of video to an hour, or something like that. Madonna - Ray of light, and all that.

I prefere VirtualDubMod but if you have suggestions for other freewares to do this, please share.


Thank you for helping!

Go to the Frame Rate dialog in VirtualDubMod:

In the top section, Source rate adjustment, set "Change to [900] frames per second". Or 30 times the final desired frame rate. This is telling VirtualDubMod to ignore the frame rate, pretend it's 900.

In the middle section, Frame Rate Conversion, set Convert to [30] or whatever frame rate you want in the resulting file. This is telling VirtualDubMod to reduce the frame rate from 900 to 30. It will throw away 29 out of every 30 frames leaving you with a 30 fps video.

I just noticed that VirtualDubMod won't allow you to specify a frame rate over 200 in the top section. Newer versions of VirtualDub do though.

A possible workaround for VirtualDubMod: leave the top section at the default 15 fps. Change the middle section to 0.5 fps. Save your file. Use AVIFrate to change the AVI files frame rate from 0.5 to 30.

I was using VDM 1.5.10.2 b2540 and as you said, it won't allow fps > 200. The latest VD will handle XViD input though, my previous VirtualDub-1.6.11 didn't. I used VirtualDub-1.6.19 and followed your directions and it's PERFECT!

Thank you SO much for helping, jagabo!
