My school uses real player and OPTX to make lectures. There is the usual video in upper left and a shot of the pc screen on the right.

i use real player with the screenwatch plug in to view them both simultaneously. i would like the ability to speed up playback by a certain amount, say 10%. This functionality is available on many other applications but not real player.

Can I view my files with another player or convert them to a format that can be viewed at a faster playback speed?

My professor just talks to slow and I could get the same lecture in 2/3rds the amount of time.


Thanks for any/all help!

Hi Alex,

You can't use another player for smi files because the smi file is just a text xml file that refers to media player specific files.

However, you may want to do a google search on plugins that will let you do what you want. There used to be a plugin for the realplayer that would let you play things at different speeds. I just can't seem to remember the name of the plugin. You might try at the real site also...

Thanks,
OPTX Support

This will increase playback speed on real player. Cost is $30 though!
