Everyone, this tip is monster.
Try watching a BarBri lecture stream at 1.5x speed. Some lectures are just perfect for this. For example, I am watching the Performance Test Lecture 1 at 1.5x speed and am loving it. Not only am I catching everything, but I am also not getting distracted as easy. So now, I am actually paying attention and am on schedule to finish a whole hour earlier than if I had watched along at GGU or at normal speed at home. Granted, some lectures will not be good for this method, because the professor speaks too quickly at times. Still, this method works well for a number of lectures.
How To: Open a stream, as you normally would. Expand image to full screen. Then hit simultaneously, "Control + Shift + G". This places it at 1.5x speed. To reduce it to 1.0x speed: Hit "Control + Shift + F" twice. The first time it will speed it up. The second time it will go back to 1.0x.
Special Thanks: I have to give thanks and props to Big Mike for sharing this tip with me. He is spot on with it.
I hope someone out there finds this post helpful. Also, please share your tips and tricks with us. We are eager to learn.

Genius. I will partake tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how to speed up the lectures. Thank you Portanova for figuring this out and thank you Joshie for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteDoes this work on Macs too?
ReplyDeleteBig Mike said he used a windows partition to do it on the Mac. This is all I know about the Mac situation. I think the goal was to get windows media player to play the video. For Mac users, I encourage you to test before trying.
