He sure is very slow, some people were able to increase the play speed, I was never successful for some unknown reason. Playing it faster might help.

He is just too calm with is '' IT"S VEEERY IMPOOORTANT " !

Yes, same is here, not able play is faster in WMP. shaking head It was so frustrating for me during Physio lectures, he is just too slow.

hey, can i join the club!!!
P499, i have a slightly different situation though. i m asleep before n after the lectures as well sad

Thanks GoodGirl! I tried it just now, it works great! But it is only a trial version for a week that is free. After that you need to purchase the software for $20.

I have the same problem.... feel soooo sleepy and can't concentrategrin I guess all of us are in the same boat grin

I have heard that there is a software called PowerDVD which is used to watch videos/movies on the comp....it has 1.25X, 1.5X and 2X speed options. But even this is expensive to buy.

One way to avoid sleeping during the phys lectures... is to NOT watch them! haha I tried it, then like 20 seconds later i stopped it. There was NOOO way i was going to sit through that.

Just horrible. Soo boring.

FA and Pass program for Physiology were more than enough for me. (And Dr. Francis from the Pass videos will actually keep you awake!)
