Playing PAL files slower

Author

Just wondering if there was an easy way to play PAL files 4% slower to look somewhat like NTSC.

What's a PAL file?

One way would be to use an AviSynth script thus:

AviSource("your25fpsfile.avi")
AssumeFPS("ntsc_film", sync_audio=true)

which will play at 23.976fps in any media player.

Another option would be to use the ReClock DirectShow filter.

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…
