• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I just made a short video for medical issues to show my doctor, but when I play it back, it shows up in reverse mode. I know it is reversing because I have a tattoo and it is reading backwards, as if I taped the video in a mirror. I did NOT it was lying on bed next to me and it was open so I could video dystonia and spasms.

How do I reverse this, so It appears as a normal video?

Thanks,

Cathy:[ because I am such an idiot when it comes to using Mac!

If you have iMovie on your Mac (probably do) I think this will work. Use the first three steps. Ignore the part about applying the instant replay effect.

It's entirely possible I have misunderstood what you are shooting for. Post back if that does not work.

Slydude:

I made it in PhotoBooth, seems like I can layback but cant figure out how to do anything else. I guess I have to go back to school (Apple gives classes with this MAcBookPro. I haven't been in a while, so I need to brush up.

Plus it is not a matter of running the film backwards/in revers; It's that what is left in the video is right on the screen and vice-versa. The video runs well, but is reversed. Thanks for the help though!

I thought that is what happened. Wish I had thought of Photobooth as the culprit last night. I think this video explains how to do what you need. If it does not let me know and I will give it a try. Don't mess with Photo Booth much.
