A bit more time on the playlist has revealed that the following movies play at double speed in zoomplayer and Media Player Classic, and did not when originally downloaded. http://tasvideos.org/733M.html (Earnest Evans by Ouzo, obsolete) http://tasvideos.org/739M.html (X-Men Mutant Apocalypse by nibelung) http://tasvideos.org/1003M.html (U. N. Squadron by georgexi) Zoomplayer says that they are still claiming to be 60fps, while running at more like 120fps. Similar issues/fixes/thoughts?

That's strange. Sometimes movies "drift" in that they are played back slightly faster than 60 FPS, causing a slight and to many inaudible pitch shift, but I thought that was only with certain encoding settings that TASVideos doesn't use. (I used to get it after the first encoding pass.) I'll download these to see if I can reproduce it. EDIT: they seem to work fine here. Couldn't try the first since it's obsolete and no longer available.
