How can I play FMV's faster?

Hello, I hope this has not been addressed before, but FMV's are running rather slow for me (30-40 FPS) and I was wondering if there was a way to get these to run more fluidly. If not, that's perfectly fine, gameplay runs really well for me anyways.

My specs if needed:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
AMD A6-3400M APU
Radeon HD Graphics 6720G2 1.40 GHz
3.48 GB RAM

I'm sure the 1.40 GHz comes as a surprise, for anyone even trying to emulate a PS2 period. It's a quad-core processor (and a laptop), so I do need to go all-out with speed hacks and tweaking settings here and there, but generally (sometimes at the sacrifice of graphics, like going with Native resolution), I can get a good 60 FPS even from games like Persona 4 and Tales of the Abyss, more often than not.

For that reason I can understand FMV's would not play as fast, they're not related to gameplay that can be aided by speed hacks. I'm very much illiterate when it comes to coding, so I apologize for the possible ignorance on my part, but considering an FMV is basically just a video, I would think there must be some way to just be able to play it at full-speed, but I wouldn't know. Is there a way to go about fixing this?

Thanks!

Tab toggles frame limit on/off, but it's not a real fast forward per se. You can try it though.
