Thanks for taking the time for this. I just filmed part of a protest, and was holding my camera sideways. I got home and had to tilt my head, and now it’s set straight. Long live Linux and those like your self!

How to preserve the quality when rotating iPhone videos. I used this command but the quality of the original video is far better than the rotated one:
mencoder -ovc lavc -vf rotate=1 -oac pcm input.mpg -o output.mpg

got “-vop has been removed, use -vf instead.”
and “Audio format 0x4134504d is incompatible with ‘-oac copy’, please try ‘-oac pcm’ instead or use ‘-fafmttag’ to override it.”

for a .3gp video in my case needed to change it to:

mencoder -ovc lavc -vf rotate=1 -oac pcm VIDEO0039.3gp -o VIDEO0039_rotated.3gp
