Why is winamp playing at over 100fps?

Seriously it worked for one file and now it plays video at around 100fps even after i used revo uninstaller and then re-installed it and i cant seem to find a way to make it play at normal speed.
 
I'm not sure what your asking, wouldn't it automatically play any video at the frame rate it was encoded?
 
I think some of it has to do with the media source. DVD should play around 32 FPS. Online media (netflix) is around 40-45 FPS.
what media are you trying to watch? I would suppose that the media is at fault, not the player.
 
in gaming its not. But there is not a limited # of frames here.
In video, you have a limited # of frames to work with, so if you have a faster FPS then your video play speed will be affected.

Oh god, I'm not that stupid..

I'm saying that if a video is encoded to play at a higher fps that's a good thing, he hasn't described any choppy play back..

Bascially instead of playing the video at the normal rate which is around 25 fps it was playing it at around 100 fps, which, i thought i was clear enough with what i said in the op, basically it makes the video look like it was speeded up or on some kind of fast forward, i only stated it in fps as that was what was displayed by winamp. prob should have asked why the video was speeded up, lol.
It only did it on certain files and those exact same files were tested on a multitude of players and they work fine in them, only in winamp does it do this.
I thought i'd pressed something like in VLC where you can speed up or slow down the video but it appears there is no kind of fast forward/slow down option available.
Anyway i just re-check as i forgot about this thread and now it seems to be fine, but i still wanna know why it was doing it tho.
I pretty sure it is a windamp problem or something i have missed, im just watching the dvix/xvid avi files of tv and stuff. Things that should be played around 25fps not 100fps.
