title: OpenCV - Dramatically increase frame rate from playback
body: <p>In OpenCV is there a way to dramatically increase the frame rate of a video (.mp4). I have tried to methods to increase the playback of a video including : </p>
  
  <p>Increasing the frame rate:</p>
  
  <p><code>cv.SetCaptureProperty(cap, cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FPS, int XFRAMES)</code></p>
  
  <p>Skipping frames:</p>
  
  <p><code>for( int i = 0; i &lt; playbackSpeed; i++ ){originalImage = frame.grab();}</code></p>
  
  <p>&amp;</p>
  
  <p><code>video.set (CV_CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, (double)nextFrameNumber);</code></p>
  
  <p>is there another way to achieve the desired results? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>
  Just to clarify, the play back speed is NOT slow, I am just searching for a way to make it much faster. </p>
