Best video codec for scrubbing

Beginners

Hi,

I am working on a project which is essentially a playback machine of multiple videos and audios. The user can play them in 4 predetermined speeds:

  • forward (speed=1.0)
  • fast_forward (speed=1.6)
    -backward (speed=-1.0)
    -fast_backward (speed=-1.6)
    when not playing they switch to a looping idle video.

What is the most efficient way for this playback option. Anything that might help, codec or any other TD optimizations.

Thanks for your help!

photo jpg is a good codec if you need to run your video backwards - many codecs work well running forward, but not in reverse.

The new Notch LC codec is extremely fast (decoded on GPU) and according to their marketing, supports scrubbing. (Note: I haven’t tested this yet).
TD can playback NotchLC, you’ll have to encode it in external software. (There’s a free plugin for Adobe media encoder)
