Can one play flash movies faster?

I have to go through a couple of self-learning exercises. Alas, the presenter speaks so slow that I have a hard time not to fall asleep between words. 😞

Is there a way (or an alternative player) that allows to playback flash movies (i.e. swf files) at higher than original speeds? I am pretty sure I could easily cope with at least 1.5x if not 2x of the original recording speed and still perfectly understand what is being said and shown.

Such a function would save me tremendous amounts of time and the learning effect would definitely be higher than with the current setup!

Any hint and/or pointer welcome!

Michael

Try http://www.enounce.com for flash files. You can speed up and slow down the playing speed. They have a free 7 day trial and the price is under $30.

You can also adjust the play speed in windows media player for avi files. Select a) "Now Playing", from the top toolbar, b) " Enhancements", c) "Play Speed Settings".

Hope this helps

Thanks! That was exactly the tool I would have needed (in the meantime in lack of prior answers I already went through my material...).

The add-on works very nicely and will definitely be very useful next time!

Cheers and thanks again,

Michael

I too have been madly seeking this feature. I'm tired of having to rip every video I want to peruse in order to be able to open it in QuickTime and watch it 2x - 3x playback speed. Any knowledge on how to increase playback in-browser via the Flash Player would be much appreciated!
