I didn't see a 200% speed increase anywhere within IrfanView version 3.10,
only a "Double" in the Options/Video Size menu.
You could always extract the frames and drop half of them out with something
like Video Mach 2 or IrfanView (I didn't get anything usable from IrfanView
though).  Cmpeg managed to go to 50 fps upon re-encoding them, 60 fps
introduced artifacts.  Usually find Mpeg is limited to 30 fps in most anything
else.
The recompiled drip2.mpg looked a better speed for the water flow, a bit fast
for the faucet handles however, and was only 224KB; but I probably shouldn't
upload it, figure it might be a waste of space here at ~300KBau.
