Rotating videos shot vertically   

Hi,

Don't laugh, but I accidentally shot a couple of short videos with my 
digital photo camera while framing for a vertical picture format; that is 
holding the camera sideways. I used still cameras for 50+ years, and this 
was only the third time I was using my new camera's video feature. I guess I 
wasn't thinking too clearly.

Anyway, is there anyway to rotate the videos, so people can view them 
without having to tilt their heads 90 degrees? The files are in AVI format.

I keep thinking I can't be the first person to goof this way, so there must 
be way to fix it. Thank you.

The only way I know, is using Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite.'s Vifeowave 
module. Create a colour panel of the appropriate length, add the video as an 
overlay to that, and you can rotate the overlay through 90 degrees (you need 
to adjust the size also if you want to include the whole original width of 
the clip). Of course, as the video format is 4:3 (or 19:6), you will get 
borders left and right of the rotated clip.

Re: Rotating videos shot vertically   

There's a free video conversion program called Super that will do it easily. 
It can be downloaded from
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/super.cfm 
Click the "D" on the "DirectShow Decode" button on the top right and tick 
the "turn right" or "turn left".

Windows Movie Maker lets you reorient them too.  =)
