Fast play option in VLC if you download the videos
James Barnett
39,199 PointsIf you are planning on downloading several videos downloading them through the iTunes link would probably be simpler.
Alex Hedley
16,381 PointsYeah iTunes is the simplest, once they're downloaded you can play them in whichever program you want.

27,656 PointsHopefully you will soon add this feature. I love to watch the videos on Coursera with double speed and subtitles the same time. Keep up this great work.

1,621 PointsFully agree with @Christian - this is a must have feature. Manually downloading the videos just so that I can get through them faster isn't exactly a performance improvement. ;-)

1,621 PointsTry to sit through all 12 minutes of this video where Nick keeps typing filler text and then reads it back to us over and over. http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-website/text-editors-and-html/finishing-the-html-2
Please don't take my comments the wrong way: I am a huge Treehouse fan - I'd just like to be able to choose the rate at which I can absorb some of this stuff (mostly just refresher for me at this point).
Thanks!

39,199 PointsWish granted! You can now watch a video at 1.5x & 2x speed.
