The VideoLAN Forums

I think the problem started when I downloaded a newer version of the software?

Previously, when starting a film, I could select Playback,and then Slower (Fine adjustment), which would reduce the speed of playback to 90%, and for each successive click, reduced by another 10%; same adjustment was available of Faster playback.

I find it hard to follow the dialog on many movies, and need to slow down the sound/speech/playback, so I really miss this feature.

I am presently using VLC Media Player 2.0.3 To regain the Playback Speed adjustment, do I need to uninstall the present version, and download an older version? If so, where can I do this, and which version would have that feature?

Or mayhap Version 2.0.3 has this feature, cleverly hidden somewhere, and I can't find it???

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

You can still do the same. Use 2.0.4, btw.

I just uninstalled the old version, and DLed and installed version 2.0.4

I regret that I can not find the Playback speed adjustment on this newer version!

I looked at all the drop down lists, especially and including Playback, but could not find this adjustment under any of the sub-topics.

Can you please tell me, step-by-step, how to find this?

Thanks again so much!

What about Speed, the 6th item of playback menu?
What about View->Status bar?

OMG! How could I have missed it?????

I think I didn't notice Speed because it was greyed out, UNTIL I started the movie.

Thank you so very much for the hints!

And I thank VIDEO LAN for this fantastic player. VLC is the only player I use.
