;;  MOVIE PLAYS BACK AND FORTH

;;

;;  This example plays a movie forwards and backwards

;;  at the same time. frames from the head and tail of the

;;  movie are composited on each other using gfx:image2image

;;  with a 50% transperency and then displayed.

;;

;;  NOTE That you will get very poor performance trying

;;  to playback movies with framerates other than 1

;;  in particular this relates to movies in h264 format etc.

;;

;;  For best performance playback in reverse use formats such

;;  as Motion JPEG, or Apple Intermediate.
