This AppleScript will allow you to select a WWDC 2014 video and open it automatically using the QuickTime 7 player (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923) allowing you to increase the playback speed as mentioned in BitsUndSo episode #379 (http://www.bitsundso.de/bus379/). Be aware that the script does not check if the QT7 player is already installed.
