I recently went to view a YouTube video, and all the writing (credits, title, and even the film makers logo) were all backwards/mirrored !

The video itself and the voices were perfectly normal.

Have I taken too many hay fever meds this week?

LIkely an attempt by the uploader to avoid the automatic piracy detection systems employed by youtube to remove pirated content...

Anti copyright was my thought too, but others in the series are all normal.

I compared this mirrored video with another version and now see that the whole thing is reversed, viz. words and the action itself

UPDATE: Found an app that flips video horizontally, and all is as it should be now

Vlc effects settings would also fix that little problem.
