Video Player 0.2.0 by Tenpi is a lightweight, open-source media utility designed for users who need more than basic playback. Positioned in the Video Players category, the application focuses on two specialized functions: it can reverse any clip so that footage runs backward in real time, and it can stretch or compress time, allowing playback speeds to be shifted smoothly above or below 100 %. These effects are applied on the fly without pre-rendering, making the program useful for quick previews in editing workflows, classroom demonstrations of motion concepts, or social-media creators who want to generate reversed or slowed-down segments without importing footage into a full-scale NLE. The interface is minimal—drag-and-drop a file, set speed between 0.25× and 4× with a slider, toggle reverse with one click, and the result plays instantly; frame stepping and keyboard shortcuts are included for precise navigation. Because the engine is built on top of FFmpeg, the player accepts most common containers and codecs (MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, H.264, H.265, VP9, AAC, MP3, etc.) and will automatically fall back to software decoding when hardware acceleration is unavailable. Settings are stored in a portable JSON file, so the executable can reside on a USB stick and retain preferences across machines. Tenpi has released two versions to date; the initial 0.1.0 build introduced core reverse and speed controls, while the current 0.2.0 update adds loop markers, audio pitch preservation, and a 64-bit Windows binary for better memory handling on large files. Both editions remain under the MIT licence, and community contributions are tracked on the project’s public repository. Video Player is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
