The VideoLAN Forums

For some reason the way vlc handles time stretching makes the audio clipped and harder to understand. I'm comparing it against gom player which seems to do this very well, I can crank videos above 2x speed and it still sounds natural whereas vlc becomes unpleasant, maybe its the algorithm? I don't know how it works, but maybe there is a better way to impliment this feature, as gom player already shows that it is possible.

Time stretching is good for getting through certain videos, so it is a nice feature to have.

Yes, the algorithm.
