I can only watch videos on 1.5 to 2x speed now. Thanks god youtube added this feature as well or I'd go crazy.

    Here's one way: 1) Join the HTML5 trial http://www.youtube.com/html5 http://www.youtube.com/html5 2) Open Chrome inspector, select the <video> element 3) In the Chrome console, type $0.playbackRate = 2.0 ($0 refers to the element you've selected in the inspector) This also works for other sites that use the HTML5 video element, and allows you to go faster than 2x if you prefer. YouTube's HTML5 interface also has a menu option (gear icon) which has a speed control, but the Chrome inspector trick works with any HTML5 site.

    Another way... download with youtube-dl and play back with VLC. I believe the square bracket keys change the speed.
