    Hi,
    I recorded a quicktime MOV movie with my digital camera. Stupid me, I held the camera 90 degrees on the side and now the movie is rotated. How can I rotate the movie back to the right direction?
    Thanks
    Grace

    I did the same mistake with my camera, so i know ... :)

    HereĀ“s what to do:

    Step 1: Use ie RiverPast videocleaner (http://www.riverpast.com/) to convert to some other format. DivX or XviD maybe (must have codec then)?

    Step 2: Open the new video-file in VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/). Choose Video->Filters and add a new filter, preferably "rotate". Click OK and select angle -> OK -> OK. Back in main window: File->Save as AVI.
    And then youre done. I did this without sound in the clip, but I dont think there should be any difference.

    Hi,
    Thanks! But I'm having a bit of a problem with Virtual Dub.
    Should I be in: Direct stream copy, or Full processing mode?
    Also: I keep getting "The source image format is not acceptable. (error code -2)"
    What settings do you convert with?
    Thanks
    Grace

    I tried with a mov with sound. No probs. I did not changed any settings in VirtualDub (except the filter thing), version 1.5.10 used. So the "Direct stream copy" was on and that worked.
    But you can not open the .mov directly in VirtualDub (see Step1 above).

    Convert settings from VideoCleaner:
    Output format: AVI
    Video settings: MJPEG Compressor -or- XviD MPEG-4 Codec
    Audio Settings: PCM uncompressed/24khz

    Hope this helps
