Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - Setting a new playback speed without file re-encoding?

Honeyko · 25th December 2020, 07:45

I enjoy listening to podcasts and livestreams, many of which are multi-hour. On YouTube, I can set playback speed to x1.25 or x1.5, and save a fair bit of time.

Q. Is there a way to easily do this with an already saved, stream-copied, or re-muxed file (e.g., in the likes of MKVToolNix) *without* re-encoding the whole bloody thing, or making everyone sound like a chipmunk?

I am not looking for a player that will do it; I wish to modify the file itself, so it will always play at the new speed.

TIA.
