I have a 60fps 1080p video from a GoPro that is playing really choppily in mpv (and other media players). How can I make mpv drop every other frame to get a smoother video?
Alternatively, is there any fast way to convert the video to 30fps?

Try mpv --framedrop=vo <video>. This should hopefully do what you want. If you look at the mpv manual and search for framedrop, you will also see that there are some other options (that are "not recommended"). I could imagine that --framedrop=decoder might help, if your PC is too slow to decode the video, for example.

1Yes, You can build a new video at 30 FPS use your video editing software of your choice – Ramhound – 2017-07-31T12:37:17.810
@Ramhound: I'm using
ffmpeg -r 30, but speed is at 0.05. At this rate it's going to take all day. Is there any fast way to convert the video to 30fps? – Zaz – 2017-07-31T12:40:06.830Any method will require the software to go through every frame but also note that you have to adjust your audio also. – Ramhound – 2017-07-31T12:54:51.537
Is playback choppy because your PCs specs are insufficient for 1080p60? In that case, converting will of course also take a very long time. – Daniel B – 2017-07-31T13:38:39.010
