Is there any convenient software that can play back DVDs at faster than normal speed, automatically pitch-adjusting the audio to compensate?

I know Windows Media Player can do this with audio files (along with some other audio players), but Media Player doesn't seem to offer that capability for video.

The reason I ask is that I have hundreds of hours of audio programs and DVDs in my queue to evaluate. I normally listen to the audio programs at 2x speed, which saves me many hours of listening. I'd like to be able to do the same for DVDs if possible.

Any suggestions?
