I have been testing the basic video clip function on my Canon Powershot A80
(it's not much, but I have used it a few times to get clips of dance
routines - you can't really show it in still images), and sometimes I
forget that I can't rotate the frame when shooting as it doesn't convert it
automatically.

I have managed to rotate a 320*280 video (so it plays as 280*320), in
VirtualDub and encode it to mpeg in Tmpegenc, but Quicktime Pro and Windows
Movie Maker won't let me set my own parameters for the output size (or at
least I can't find them.)

Is it possible to rotate video vertically with these two applications, or
should I invest in better video editing software?

Thanks.

In QuickTime Pro there is a "Size" function. In addition to letting you
change size, it also allows rotate, and flip horizontal or vertical.

Why not resize the clips in VirtualDub?

They had been resized in VirtualDub, I just couldn't work out how to output
them in the format I wanted in Windows Movie Maker and Quicktime.

Thanks.
