Mac Nomad Pixel Map Motion Files not Reversing

If memory serves correctly, the video engine we use on mac does not support reverse playback. This is likely a property of ETCnomad for mac itself, not the files (although those files do have some weird encodings that make reverse playback interesting anyway). The new video engine in 3.0, replacing QuickTime, isn't planned to support reverse playback either. Reverse playback is something that Quicktime supported natively but is not something that most video formats are built for.

My understanding, from conversations with others on the matter, is that many media server products in general do not support reverse playback.

Thanks Mr. Dews for the explanation!

A list of Mac specific deficiencies would be great. I’ll try to accumulate a document of these. 

1) No reverse playback in VMS Pixel Mapping

In 3.0 when the video engine on windows was changed as well. The new engine doesn't support reverse playback anymore either, so that's not a mac-specific deficiency anymore.
