[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] [FFmpeg-devel, v2] avformat/img2dec: Option to play sequence backwards

[Sergio Acereda]

This patch should allow to play a image sequence in backwards direction, without needing to apply a reverse filter.

$ ffmpeg -i sequence%05.png forward.mkv
$ ffmpeg -reverse 1 sequence%05.png backward.mkv
