Steve,
This is called palindrome looping and is possible using QuickTime
though Revolution doesn't have built-in support for it. It you don't
mind using an external then you can use the EnhancedQT external to
set the loop type of a movie in a player object to "palindrome". The
command you would need is qtMakeMovieLoop. You can find the
documentation for this at:

Click on "Movie Properties" in the frame on the left and then click
on qtMakeMovieLoop in the list of handlers. The external is
available here:
