I'm currently doing the Rails Development track and there are things I know already. But they are kind of self thought by watching tutorials from other users and learning from source codes. I am subbing to teamtreehouse to get a more structural approach to my ways of learning to programming rails applications.
Since I already know a thing or two when it comes to the way if/else, while and all those states I want to be able to fast forward the films, but it seems like when I do they wont be marked as complete :/
Got any suggestions?

My hack for this is to open those videos I'm not interested in watching in new tabs and then go and make a cup of coffee (leaving the videos to play to themselves). When I'm done, they're done. Marked as watched and my OCD is happy!

I would advise only doing this on things you are very confident on though. I have stuck out some videos even though I already knew something and actually learned a few tips or things.

Courses Plus Student 1,452 Points@Anthony: Thanks, from now on that's gonna be my approach. A coder needs it's caffeine, right? :)
@Logan: I don't entirely skip anything and the last minute of every movie has been viewed on all the movies, but still it's marked as not completed. I love new languages and I love new approaches so I'm not trying to skip anything or take shortcuts, but when I come from Java coding I know how if/else, while and for works and for me, to have to sit through a basic programming movie is just a "waste" of time I could've used to view another great movie from Team Tree House :)
I have nothing but great things to say about the instructors here and the movies made - but this one thing got me really frustrated. But that's just because I'm so detail focused. I don't want it to be a step in this process that's not marked with a green V :D
