Actually I had only audio in mind for that one. In this case it can only 
be handled between the reader and the codec. The codec gives samples and 
they are copied into another buffer but backward.
For video the problem is P and B frames which come in the opposite 
order. It could be tricky but still require the reader to "work" with 
the codec.
