No longer able to adjust playback speed ???

[oakashandthorn]

I posted this topic, in error, in the section for problems specific to the Windows OS. I did not know how to delete that post.

I am repeating the topic here, since it is obviously general VLC trouble shooting.================================================================================

I think the problem started when I downloaded a newer version of the software?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

I too needed to slow down an audio file just a bit to teach a certain line dance. I know how to do that and clicked on the record icon when playing back at slower speed. That worked, except when I play back the recorded file it has multiple skips and is useless. What am I doing wrong?
