How playback speed affects your movie count

Faster playback compresses effective runtime. At 1.5×, a 2-hour film counts as 80 minutes; at 2×, it counts as 1 hour — letting you fit more films in the same schedule.

Speed multiplier math

1.5× speed: watch 33% more movies in the same time. 2× speed: double your count. 2.5× and 3× options are available in the calculator for podcasts and rewatchers.

Over a 70-year lifetime at 2 hours/day, switching from 1× to 1.5× adds roughly 3,000+ films to your total.
