video player that will let me slow down the action?
I"m using VLC for a video player but I have a set of video instructions
for computer usage that go so fast I can't understand them (partly because half of them are in Chinese.) Is there a video player that will let me slow down the action? |

Each button press further slows down or speeds up the playback. Having the buttons on the toolbar means not having to drill through menus. |

Oy... Sure enough. Thanks. I can't keep track of all this stuff. I can't even read it all the first time. I wonder if it's my age or if I never could. Your expectations for software, are based on context and experience. The controls on media players, are meant to mimic a VCR. Or mimic that cassette recorder you had when you were younger. It's because you think to yourself "VLC is like my VCR", that you will be missing out on features. I consider such an oversight to be "normal", because the graphical interface doesn't really hint at the feature set all that well. You have to "read the manual" to get some idea, or visit a website that has laid the ideas out for you. It wasn't that many years ago, that the developers of VLC would have "whined" about doing anything more than playback and record. But you'll notice they've added a lot of stuff since then. And some of it has rough edges. You can try to use it, and get no response. When in fact, the feature is completely broken. I can't get the VLC "play what is coming from my TV Tuner" to work in Windows. But it works in Linux. And they're in no rush to fix that. The playback speedup function is pitch-corrected. I hope you're impressed by that. There's no "chipmunks". Paul |

Each button press further slows down or speeds up the playback. Having the buttons on the toolbar means not having to drill through menus. Yes, that's a pain because each time I click Slower, the menu disappears. I can't just keep clicking. We'll see if I have to do this much more. BTW, Andy, you posted at 7AM and I was smart/lucky enough to look before I resumed working on this. The video has no sound** and more than half of the text is in Japanese, so when they right click on an icon, it's very hard to tell what they've chosen. Often there are Latin letters in parens (like (O) or (P) but once it right clicked on This PC and chose G! G? It looked like Device Manager, but it's missing entries I have and has entries mine doesn't have (Some of text was in English). Plus it has icons in the task bar I don't have. I'll let you all know how it goes. **If it did have sound it would be in Japanese. |

Nonetheless, it was there when I needed it. I finished the video. And the software is installed. And "registered" for the first time, though as in the other thread, I still don't have drivers. I'll work on that in a little while. |
