- bprater 18y agoI do this pretty often when listening to books on tape, I thin it's a natural to do this when listening to long-form video.
- huhtenberg 18y agoHow come no pitch correction in sample videos ? I assume AviSynth is capable of doing that.
- notauser 18y agoMyth TV can run playback at faster (or slower) than real time, and does pitch correction. My sweet spot seems to be 1.5x-3x depending on content. Movies tend to lose nothing no matter how fast you watch them, while technical stuff gets hard to follow really fast.
- pkrumins 18y agoThe audio got distorted when I corrected pitch on videos > 2x. The videos < 2x have pitch corrected.
- SwellJoe 18y agoI've read about a few listener comprehension studies, and it's been found that people generally comprehend higher pitched, slightly faster than average, voices better, and female voices are better than male for comprehension and retention. I don't know how that applies to this particular trick, but this is something I've had a vague wish for, for years. Though I just wanted a button on YouTube for, "Talking too slow!" that would speed them up some.
- huhtenberg 18y ago> comprehend higher pitched, slightly faster than average, voices better That's definitely true. Not comprehending them takes years of married life and continuous practice.
- bemmu 18y agoMan, I thought this was going to be a parody of speed reading.
- mikeytown2 18y agoReclock is a much better option IMO http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ReClock_Directshow_Filter http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ReClock_Directshow_Filter AviSynth isn't the best audio processor. It's much better with the visual side of frame rate conversion. Its other strong points are: dealing with interlacing correctly, resizing, pseudo HDR, and improving how the clip looks (denoise, deblock, dehalo, sharpen, ect...). It's something I play around/code for with in my spare time. Check it out, you might like it :) http://avisynth.org/ http://avisynth.org/
- taw 18y agoAny software for speeding up podcasts and videos for Mac? Some good podcasts like stackoverflow are just slower than Vista running on Eee.

- lallysingh 18y agoFirst time I read that, it sounded like the title of another useless, obvious patent. "A method for faster performance through accelerated playback"
- arghnoname 18y agoI believe I read once that advertisers have software that reduces the length of the pauses between words/sounds in a video to speed it up, without it seeming as sped up.
- jodrellblank 18y agoI would like to see and try that, since my perception is that unless one deliberately adds them, there are no pauses between words. (Try to listen to a foreign language radio station and identify where the words are, for instance).
