MPC-HC: Speed Up Video Playback Without Changing Pitch
- Never rely on
Ctrl+Up alone.
- Always use the
Ctrl+Shift+S dialog and check "Keep pitch."
- For perfect results, install the MPC Audio Renderer.
- 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.
