Whilst conversions that speed up video do happen, It's not really intentional or desirable.
A friend of mine bought the DVD of 'Rent' when it first came out in our region. A month or two after it came out, the DVD got re-issued because it's a musical, and people had been complaining that the conversion had been messed up. I think she got the re-release for free.

Rate changes are a bigger issue for musical features like Rent, as it makes them difficult to play along with. For a more typical dramatic feature, it's less noticeable.
