A video player that will let me play video backwards. . .

[episodic]

I've tried vlc, gom, windows media classic, etc. . . this should be a simple feature. . . I just want a video player that will do like old school vcrs and let you watch something backwards - with sound would be a bonus. . . .

Hmm, might be able to find a tool to reencode a video backwards. Most encodings fall forward so rendeing data in reverse is actually pretty tough...

Looks like AviSynth has the Reverse() function. According to the documentation:

"This filter makes a clip play in reverse. This is useful for watching people walk backwards while listening to hidden satanic messages." :evil:

Why can't you just do this in a player? Almost all of my vids are .mov or .mp4

Avisynth isn't going to work. . .

it might sounds a lot of work if you want all of your mov and mp4 convert to avi format and you can able to do reverse encode?

AviSynth reads those formats. Looks like last time I read either one, I used DirectShowSource(), with FFDShow installed for .mp4 - though I'm not sure you need that.

Edit: With AviSynth installed, if your computer is fast enough for the filters you added, you can play a .avs file just like a .avi file. (Mine decidedly isn't fast enough, but it's a 6-year-old single core machine.)

It is time to upgrade your computer...single core cpu is dead now....Here comes Quad core cpu.

Because compressed video isnt like a VCR tape. It really only works in one direction.

If you have the space, just save the file as a HUFFyuv avi
