Five hours is a short audiobook or a complete beginner course on Udemy or YouTube. At 1.25x it fits into 4 hours. 1.25x is barely noticeable after a minute or two, so it is the safest choice for dense lectures and anything you need to remember.
Only have less time than that? Use the speed needed calculator to find the exact speed that fits your window, or paste a link into the YouTube playlist length calculator to total a whole course.
