Media Player "play speed setting" not working.

Does not work on windows 8.1, it just resets itself to 1.0.

Version is 12.0.

To help solve these problems, you can adjust Windows Media Player 11's playback speed.

From the keyboard:

Fast playback speed: Ctrl + Shift + G

Normal playback speed: Ctrl + Shift + N

Slow playback speed: Ctrl + Shift + S

When in Skin Mode

1. Right-click Windows Media Player 11.
2. Select "Play Speed" from the pop-up menu that appears.
3. Select "Fast", "Normal", or "Slow".

In Full Mode, you can make further adjustments to the playback speed.

1. Click the "Now Playing" button.
2. If a menu bar is not visible, right-click the Windows Media Player 11 title bar

to open a pop-up menu, or press the Alt key.

3. Select menu option "View" - "Enhancements" - "Play Speed Settings".
4. You should now see a "Play Speed Settings" panel.

• Click "Slow", "Normal", or "Fast".
• Or, move the slider to the left to slow multimedia playback, or move it to the right to speed it up.

Hope this helps.

Media Players plays speed setting will not work. My videos taken with my digital camera run slow. The video plays at the correct speed using "Quick Time". This just started o couple weeks ago.

Hoping this gets picked up as it's obviously been a problem longterm and really lets users down.

I want to burn a couple of clips from video on my computer to CD. The lowest speed settings on Media Player are 16X which is still too fast for them to play back at the speed they should be at, and it particularly affects speech. It takes for ever to upload these to YouTube where they play perfectly, so I imagine these faster speeds are just not suitable. How can I modify the default options on Media Player to get at least half that speed?
