Hi Travis, You're perfectly correct about being able to control playback speed with QuickTime Player (and VLC, for that matter), and I used the A/V window access of QuickTime Player all through Snow Leopard. However, the reason new users aren't familiar with this is that the default version of QuickTime Player for Snow Leopard and Lion doesn't support this interface any more. The older version of QuickTime Player is now called "QuickTime Player 7" and can be found on the Snow Leopard install discs. However, since Lion doesn't come with install discs in general, you have to download this if you want it on you system. You can get a copy of QuickTime Player 7 from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923 Then just use Command-K to toggle the A/V controls between show and hide, and navigate to the sliders for controlling playback speed.
HTH.
