ffmpeg backwards!

Hi,

For simplicities sake i'm wondering if it's possible to encode a directory of files into a video, but only read them in backwards.

Here's a general way to do it forwards (not many options):

Code:

ffmpeg -r 25 -i img%04d.jpg movie.mp4

Again... how to specify to read the files from say 250 -> 001, e.g. backwards...

Cheers

It may be easier to just rename the files in reverse order with a bash script and then run ffmpeg.
