Video speed control and going backwards

smarques

Hi, I can not get the Movie.speed() function to control speed or to reverse the direction. I am running the example from the docs

import processing.video.*;
Movie myMovie;

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
  frameRate(30);
  myMovie = new Movie(this, "totoro.mov");
  myMovie.speed(4.0);
  myMovie.loop();
}

void draw() {
  if (myMovie.available()) {
    myMovie.read();
  }
  image(myMovie, 0, 0);
}

but the player seems to ignore the call to Movie.speed() does it have to do with the video format, is there a video format that would work?

Thanks for any help sergio

Thank you, but I am still a bit confused.

1) The documentation says that you can change the speed (hence the given example)

2) The documentation says reversing only works with some video formats

For example, the theora codec does support backward playback, but not so the H264 codec

From looking at the previous posts that you linked I could not figure out if:

a) the docs are wrong and THERE IS NO WAY of controlling playback speed

b) the docs are correct and I am just using a wrong file (tried with a theora movie but no change)

Thank you for your patience. s
