Turning video recording from landscape to portrait viewing

[Calaber]

Here's one for the techno geeks amongst you.

We have numerous video recordings downloaded from mobile phones, which are the wrong aspect for viewing. (ie horizontal instead of vertical.) The videos have been taken of our granddaughter at dancing competitions and the mobile phone has been held vertically whilst recording instead of horizontally. When downloaded, the videos play vertically so they're useless at present.

Is it possible to turn a video through 90 degrees as you can with still photos, using Windows 7?

There is a free media player called VLC that allows you to rotate video on the fly, but I don't think it saves the change?

See here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

Don't expect too much though, I've done this myself (using this player) and it looks horrible when played back rotated.

.. Pinnacle Studio allows this (plus a whole lotta other stuff.. like screen captures)

not free, I paid $59.95 for the latest version 2 weeks ago
best value video program in my opinion
