Can I play a video at a slower speed yet at the same pitch?

Postby Petrichor » 08 Aug 2011 09:14

When playing a video with VLC Player, can I play it at a slower speed yet at the same pitch? Do I need to adjust some audio settings somewhere?

I'm trying to copy out the words from a documentary that I play with my VLC media player, but unfortunately I cannot type as fast as some can talk. Playing the video at a slower speed is great and very handy, but the narrator's voice sounds really creepy and is quite disturbing to listen to! :roll: I was just wondering whether I can restore his voice to the original "highness" but adjusting some settings.

Let me know if you can help! Thank you! :D
