How do I put stuff in reverse using a Super VHS camcorder only?

uh, press and hold the << button...
(just kidding, i know i'm a dork)

really though, i would say that the only real way to do this is capturing the footage to your computer and using Premiere or another editing program to reverse the order of the frames (not real complicated to do). then output it back to your tape.

i don't think camcorders really ever have a function to reverse your video in-camera.

If your camcorder has an editing hookup you might be able to make a copy in reverse by "jogging" it backwards. It would take a really high quality camcorder to do this without tracking lines, however. You might be able to pull it off on a Panasonic 1980 deck, but the 1970 I just tested it on can't seem to do it without without two annoying tracking lines.

Good Luck.
