What speed is 'fast' and 'faster' in VLC?

Question

VLC isn't very informative in its playback speed designations.

Any idea as to which playback speed each adjective refers to?

Answer 1

Result

• Faster (fine): 1.1×
• Faster: 1.5×
• Slower (fine): 0.9×
• Slower: 0.6×

Update: As of December 2017, neither "faster" nor "slower" seems to produce a fixed amount of change in speed (for example, if one presses "faster" five times, the sequence of speeds it goes through is 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 8x, 16x).

Pressing [ to slow down and ] to speed up displays ±0.1 the previous speed as large text in the top right.
