I would like to watch recorded lectures at 1.7x of their original speed.

Which app will allow me to do that?

1.7x their original speed? Must be a boring lecture, eh? ;) – gentmatt Jan 23 '12 at 16:59

I can't find any playback app on the iPad with the exact 1.7 ratio...

However, Azul for iPad (app store link) has 1.5 and 1.75 playback ratios. They even say in their site blurb that it's good for fast reviewing of lectures.

Reviews are excellent and integration with Mail and Dropbox is there, as well as a very comprehensive codec list

VLC will allow you to playback at 1.5x or 2.0x normal speed. Choose "Faster" from the "Playback" menu.

VLC can be downloaded here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Caveat: I've used VLC on the Mac. I haven't tried any of the "VLC" apps in the App Store, so I don't know if they will do want you want on an iPad. Sorry, didn't see the iPad tag at first.

Unfortunately, the VLC Media player port for iOS is a bit basic. As of 2012-06-08 it does not support variable speed playback (pity, as it is a nice app in most other respects). – Gravitas Jun 8 '12 at 21:50

I built Swift Player for iPhone and iPad that will allow you to change (speed up) the playback speed of video and audio from the device or even directly from websites like YouTube, etc.

You can find out more information on the product's website.

Note: This is a product that I have developed.

Does this app just speed the audio/video? – bassplayer7 2 days ago
Not quite sure what you are asking. Its main function is to adjust playback speed of audio or video files. It has other bells and whistles like downloading for offline viewing, etc. Check the site for all the features. – dizy 2 days ago
This is marketing. :( You are doing this to increase your sales. :( – Robottinosino yesterday
Well, I did state it's a shameless plug, and it's not like i'm saying this out of context. I built this app because I was lacking a solution for the very same reason this thread is about. And the question the user asked was of an app that does this. Every other answer is of an app, are you sure they aren't "marketing". – dizy yesterday
@dizy, I'm sorry, I left a word off ("up") in my comment - so I wasn't clear. I understand now. – bassplayer7 6 hours ago
