Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to perform speed-enhanced playback of recorded media are disclosed. Example apparatus to playback media disclosed herein comprise at least one memory, machine-readable instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to parse an audio frame included in the media to determine a number of skip bytes included in the audio frame, compare the number of skip bytes to a threshold, associate the audio frame with a plurality of candidate frames identified in the media when the number of skip bytes satisfies the threshold, and calculate a speed-enhanced playback rate for the media based on the plurality of candidate frames identified in the media.
Claims20
An apparatus to playback media, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- machine-readable instructions;
- and
- processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to:
- parse an audio frame included in the media to determine a number of skip bytes included in the audio frame;
- compare the number of skip bytes to a threshold;
- associate the audio frame with a plurality of candidate frames identified in the media when the number of skip bytes satisfies the threshold;
- and
- calculate a speed-enhanced playback rate for the media based on the plurality of candidate frames identified in the media.
An apparatus to playback media, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- machine-readable instructions;
- and
- processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to:
- determine a target number of frames of the media to drop during playback of the media based on a difference between (1) a total number of frames of the media and (2) a ratio of the total number of frames of the media to a target playback rate;
- select a subset of frames of the media to drop during the playback of the media, the subset of frames to be selected based on the target number of frames and skip bytes included in the subset of frames;
- and
- drop the subset of frames of the media during playback of the media.
A method comprising:
- determining, by executing an instruction with at least one processor, a target number of frames of media to drop during playback of the media based on a difference between (1) a total number of frames of the media and (2) a ratio of the total number of frames of the media to a target playback rate;
- selecting, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, a subset of frames of the media to drop during the playback of the media, the subset of frames to be selected based on the target number of frames and skip bytes included in the subset of frames;
- and
- dropping, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, the subset of frames of the media during playback of the media.
