OT but I wish Vimeo had an option to play the video at 2x the speed. YouTube has that option and I love it. Use it all the time for watching conference presentations.

Most vimeo videos nowadays are sent in html5 video tags. If you're reading HN, you're probably pretty comfortable in chrome's console. Just find the video element and adjust the `playbackSpeed` variable (default 1).

One would expect at least a dozen browzer plugins which change these speeds. Ive never encountered the need - i run a slow netbook and never load the videos and I run a fast-ish laptop and occasionally am prepared to load videos.

the parameter is `playbackRate`

It's invaluable. Additionally, voice recognition to give a text transcript (as they do now for automated subtitles) would be even more useful to me, as I can read even faster than 2x spoken.

yt-download and the full-featured video-player of your choice.

Option to fast-forward, repeat, speed/slow, etc., from keyboard as well. Which rocks.

Web video players suck. All of them. YouTube is horribly inconsistent across interfaces.
