[KNOWN ISSUE, WORKAROUND PROVIDED] Palindrome play in Windows
-
Hi - I'm having problems playing a movie in "Palindrome mode". The movie is encoded on a mac in Hap format and 27 sec. long plays fine but can´t run in Palindrome. The strange thing is that I have another movie, but only 7 sec. long also in Hap format but with alpha and it runs just fine in "Palindrome mode". Then I tried to encode the "long" movie to Hap alpha but it didn't work.
Any ideas ?

This is a known issue that is being worked on (Windows movie playback is getting a big update).
With that said, I have found that it is more reliable with AVI container Hap video on Windows than with MOV.
I would use Shutter Encoder to 'rewrap' your MOV hap to AVI. You should be able to batch process any MOV hap files directly into AVI files.
Note: my tests show AVI work rather well, but you may still run into issues if you are interactively switching movies or using non default play start/length settings.

Is there any update for this?

downloaded shutter encoder but only found .mov option. Advice anyone?
-
it is not really evident. you must use rewrap (Konvertierung) then avi. It will remux your file to avi without changing the codec
Best regards,

Amazing, that did the trick! At least in the english UI I used 'Rewrap'. It now runs flawless. Thank you!

unfortunately this seems to be still an issue in 2026. Rewrapping does not help (it starts playing backwards but will freeze after some frames..). If Anyone has a workaround to complement the workaround it would be much appreciated.
