   I was about to post what Char posted.  I have used it.  That's where I   
   saw the speed was Custom 0.7.  I have assumed all videos come set to   
   speed 1, and only users change the speed.  But when I checked the 1.0   
   line, the list disappeared and it was still Custom 0.7.  So I tried the   
   slider, and slid the indicator up to 1.4   
      
   Since I first posted, I found another video at Custom 0.7, and one at   
   Custom 0.6.   
      
   I'm looking now at a People's Court video.  It shows possible speeds up   
   to 4.  When you choose 2.... not sure y et, but when you choose 4 it   
   says  you can have that if you pay for Premium.   So maybe they no   
   longer let you change speeds unless you pay.  But that does't explain   
   why some videos come immutably set to lower than 1.0.   
      
   I looked at another People's Court video on yourtube and the speed was   
   1.3, couldn't sllow it down.  They talked too fast for me to follow.   
      
   I posted in Reddit Youtube and 500 people have looked at it with no one   
   replying!!  There I mostly talked only about speed and didn't bring up   
   HD until the very end of the qustion.   
      
   Years ago I tried different speeds once and they worked, but I decided I   
   always wanted 1.0 or Normal.   What I don't want  is 0.7 since I'm   
   spending enough time on videos already, AND it changes the meaning of   
   the words when they are dragged out like the speaker is on drugs or   
   sleepy.
