Was watching and practicing along with Fiber Optics Extended by Richard Sanders. I was using my laptop to do so, along with VLC media player. This is a freeware program that can play virtually any video format.

I was getting frustrated with right versus left hands. Mix in the front and back views provided, things get confusing FAST! I began searching through the functions of the program and found I could switch the playback horizontally, and effectively reversed the action to being correctly reversed for a south paw. Listening to the audio, one still had to make adjustments. But, for a visual learner, like me, this is invaluable.

Did NOT know that this was a function on VLC. THANK YOU!

Truly has been a game changer for me. I've been watching a ton of my instructionals this way. It helps so much! Who would have thought something so simple would help that much?

Good to know! Thanks!!

That's a great tip, thank you!

On my computer I had to disable hardware acceleration for this to work (otherwise the video went black instead of being flipped).

Here are the paths for the settings to modify:
- To flip the video horizontally: navigate to "Tools > Effects and Filters > Video Effects > Geometry", check "Transform" and pick "Flip horizontally" in the list.
- To disable hardware acceleration: navigate to "Tools > Preferences > Input/Codecs" and set "Hardware-acceleration decoding" to "Disable" (only need to do it once, by default it is on "Automatic").

Best regards
