Well, you could take the Position property and wind it backwards programatically in a loop but you would not have audio.

This code will reverse the video by 5 seconds....

TimeSpan current = new TimeSpan();

current = MediaElement.Position;

TimeSpan SubtractTime = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5);

// Do not go below zero position

MediaElement.Position = current.Subtract(SubtractTime);

how do i place your code in my code? this is my code:

namespace vijeevi

{

public partial class MainPage : UserControl

{

public MainPage()

{

// Required to initialize variables

InitializeComponent();

}private void bt_click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)

{

// TODO: Add event handler implementation here.

jeevi_viji_wmv.Play();

}

private void click_reverse(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)

{

// TODO: Add event handler implementation here.

// Want it to play backwards when clicked here.

}

Different day, same thing.

}

private void bt_click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)

jeevi_viji_wmv.Play();

}

private void click_reverse(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)

{

// TODO: Add event handler implementation here.

TimeSpan current = new TimeSpan();

current = jeevi_viji_wmv.Position;

TimeSpan SubtractTime = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5);

// Do not go below zero position

jeevi_viji_wmv.Position = current.Subtract(SubtractTime);

}

------- This doesnt work.

Hi,

I am afraid media element does not support such a function directly. Based on my knowledge, there is only one workaround that is to control the MediaElement's position property. And it will not achieve an effect like you are using your dvd player.

Always it's more like a slide show along with sound snippets.
