How to Speed Up Video in MPC-HC Without Changing the Pitch

Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) remains a favorite among power users for its lightweight design and robust feature set. One of its most practical features is the ability to speed through slow-paced content—whether it’s a long lecture, a tutorial, or a slow-burn drama—without making the speakers sound like chipmunks.

SoundTouch is an open-source audio processing library specifically designed to change the tempo of audio without altering the pitch. Once this is selected, MPC-HC can handle speeds up to 2.0x with clear, understandable audio.

1. Introduction

Faster-than-normal playback is useful for review, transcription, language study, and media navigation. When playback rate changes, pitch-shifting is needed to keep audio natural; otherwise voices become chipmunked. MPC-HC historically offers simple speed adjustments but limited pitch-correction. This paper focuses on practical ways to achieve higher playback rates with preserved pitch using MPC-HC, either via its internal capabilities, external filters, or system-level tools.

2. Configure Audio Time Stretching

  • With the Internal Audio Renderer active, go to:

    Audio Distortion: While the pitch remains constant, extreme speeds (e.g., above 2.0x or 3.0x) may still cause "metallic" or robotic audio artifacts, as the player must discard more audio data to keep up.
