MPC-HC: Speed Up Video Playback Without Changing Pitch

1. Never rely on Ctrl+Up alone.
2. Always use the Ctrl+Shift+S dialog and check "Keep pitch."
3. For perfect results, install the MPC Audio Renderer.
4. Enable DXVA2 hardware decoding to prevent stuttering.

Unlike some modern players that bury this setting, MPC-HC makes it relatively accessible, though it requires a specific configuration to work correctly with modern file formats (MKV, MP4).

VLC can speed up video. PotPlayer can speed up video. But MPC-HC, specifically version 1.9.24 and later, offers the most transparent, low-CPU method for listening to accelerated dialogue without the chipmunk effect. mpc hc speed up without pitch

• Works: Yes — MPC-HC can speed up or slow down playback while preserving pitch.
• Methods: Use the internal audio switcher (DirectSound/Wasapi) with time-stretching enabled or a real-time audio DSP like the built-in "Sound" settings using the MPC-HC audio renderer (or an external plugin such as AC3Filter/VSFilter is unnecessary).
• Quality: Good for modest speed changes (up to ~1.5x–2x). Larger adjustments may introduce artifacts (robotic or stretched transient sounds).
• CPU: Low-to-moderate increase; modern CPUs handle 1.25–1.5x easily. Higher speeds or high-res audio use more CPU.
