Watching special features at 1.5x speed - Blu-ray Forum

Robonaut · 07-19-2013, 02:03 PM

Honestly, I find myself watching a lot of main features at 1.5 speed.

I always start watching them at normal speed, but, if my attention starts to wonder or I start to get annoyed with the film, it get kicks up to 1.5 speed. If I still find myself bored/annoyed, then it gets ejected.

I fast forward as well. Special features are mainly just talking heads, so I can still hear what they have to say and save some time in the process.

I'll mostly watch special features if I really like the movie, so I haven't sped through any yet. I recently watched "The Shark is Still Working" a nearly 2 hour documentary that came with Jaws, and I wish it was longer, it was that great.

yeah I can keep up with the dialogue (subtitles help there) and I don't really need to see someone in a chair talk for a long while

As a Blu-Ray and DVD reviewer, I have done this when it becomes clear (and it usually becomes clear early on) that the extra is just going to be EPK fluff. I can still follow it and it saves me time.

I usually just fast forward through long opening credits like in the Bond movies.
