Software to rotate video

[wrems]

Anyone know of any software capable of rotating video? Hopefully, free I have a bunch of videos via my camera that make you turn your head to the side to see them. I need an easy way to rotate them…

Not available for WinXP though They are .mov quicktime flicks if that makes any difference.

Yuck, it torched the video quality of the video when it rotated it. I'd like a program not to re-encode my files if possible... Or, at least give me the ability to choose a profile. So far as I can tell that software doesn't allow any changes to the output file, just the ability to rotate.

What about any paid for software? VRD??? I just checked my nero recode and it doesn't either albeit v7...

The video has to be re-encoded if you want to rotate it. The only way it will not have to be re-encoded is if you can find a player that allows you to rotate the video as it is being played.

For more information then you ever wanted to know about encoders, head over to the doom9 forums.

I figured as much. At the same time, that program I demoed before didn’t allow any changes to the output file that was being encoded. The quality was really different/bad than my original file. That software was easy to use but didn’t have any options to work with aside from basic rotation.
I have since found a program that does a really nice job of converting my files and rotating them. AVS Video Converter.

Glad you found something that works. Encoders have come a LONG way in the past 5 years and there are some amazingly smart people working on improving them all the time.
