You are exactly the definition of an a**hole.ROFL. It's super tempting to write a rant about coder design and ignoring completely valid user requests. Sorry, but I have to get this out.
This missing feature is the primary reason why I'm using the QuickTime-Viewer most of the time. But sometimes (under Windows and for .AVIs) I'm stuck with VLC. I don't --please stay polite-- care how hard it is. You're having it backwards: If the user want's to see the previous frame, jump to the previous iFrame and decode forward. Of course it's not as efficient as possible, but nowadays computers are so fast, that it would get the job done. Sorry, but an answer like this drives me insane. You might be the smartest developer on the planet, but PLEASE I beg you, PLLEEEASE read "Don't make me think" but Steve Krug. You're wasting your time by writing code that misses its potential.
A mentality like this will drive VLC down the route to Gimp, and becoming an icon that normal people use to make fun of open source projects.
There is a plugin to emulate this, if you want.I would also like the backward frame stepping.
In my opinion, VLC is the best video player out there and I use it almost every day on my computer.
This backward frame stepping feature would help me when I analyze video for my work...
Maybe this feature could go through a "crowd funding" effort ?
Anyway, I hope one day this feature will be implemented. (at least experimental for some video type)
Thanks for the great software

It's great that you like VLC and want it to be better. VLC is free and open source, and so relies heavily on the work of volunteer developers. As I'm sure you can appreciate, volunteer time for the project is limited, and is typically devoted to either the areas that most interest the volunteer or where there appears to be the greatest pay-off for time volunteered.Hello!
just wanted to add to this request if possible -
I work with a large animation studio and we have a number of users that would like to use VLC -
the one thing holding us back from deploying the app to everyone is the lack of ability to scrub backward frame by frame (this is used for timers)
the ability to scrub forward with the E key is awesome but when checking walk cycles and such with animation you need both forward and backward...
currently we're deploying quicklime 7 to our systems - and we're noticing that gets buggier each time apple releases a new OS so VLC !!! HELP!!!! we love you =)
@whunter: +1And that, my friends, is why open source projects stagnate. Those who want to implement new features don't know where to start, and those who know where to start don't like to help.
I'm having flashbacks to the bad old unix days...

If it's not hard, why don't you do it?
People are volunteers and work on what they want/can.
Hey, I gotta hand it to you...that's some A-! customer service attitude you have there.You are exactly the definition of an a**hole.
Then, we're waiting for your patches. Seriously.I’m with pixtur on this one.
