I have no idea how complicated this would be, or if it is even possible
with software, but many years ago I had the opportunity to work with
some video tape editing equipment. One of the things one could do was to
control the playback speed variably, going forward or backward through
the tape, with a lever. Center was normal speed. The control was spring
loaded so that pushing it right or left and then letting go returned the
control to the center. The amount you pushed the lever controlled how
much faster the tape ran through the machine. I've often wished I had
that feature.
So, you video gurus out there, is there some technical reason why this
can't work? Or is it something really complex that could work, but would
take an inordinate amount of effort to do in the MythTV world?
