| Toasted Member 60 Posts 7/07 | I have very little knowledge about the technical side of video playback and I'm looking for some advice. I downloaded some 60 fps only files but I still prefer watching at a lower framerate. I guess my eyes are just not used to video’s with a higher framerate, so to me the scenes just look like someone is constantly pressing the fast forward button. Is there a free player (or converter) out there that can play 60fps at 24 or 30 fps? It’s got nothing to do with choppy playback or anything, I guess it’s just a weird personal preference. [Link] |

| Toasted Member 60 Posts 7/07 | Although I have also seen some old 24/30 fps scenes at 60 fps and they actually looked pretty good.Thanks man! I've converted one of the scenes to 29 fps using handbrake and it looks so much better now. |

Right now we just have several generations of viewers that are used to the choppiness of 24/30 and they associate that with creative content and that movie feeling. Its basically a brain virus and an artifact. I'd rather watch what has the most accurate representation of reality and contains more video information. |
| Toasted Member 60 Posts 7/07 | Right now to me 60fps just looks like somebody is constantly pressing the fast forward button while I'm trying to watch it and it really takes me out of it. |

Windows Media Player (I don't know which version. I'm using the one that came loaded with Win 7) has Slow, Normal and Fast playback. Right click on the big Play/Pause icon and it'll give you the options. Seems like I used to have a player that offered more speed control, but I don't recall which. It's not a feature I use much. |
