During my recent trip to New York I shot some video on my Fujifilm Finepix camera but had the camera at a right angle to it's normal position.

Is there any way I can flip the display clockwise 90 degrees when it plays on WMP to have it the right way up or will I have to watch it with my head cocked?!

You can probably edit the movie to flip it right side up but I couldn't tell you what to use as it's something I've never done myself...

Well WMP (bad for starters) is only a player.
So although I can't help you (you gotta love me for saying that ;) ) with the name of a soft that will let you edit your videos, I can safely say that WMP won't do it.
Windows Movie Maker (rubbish) would do the job, but badly.

I owuld suggest a Google search with 'video editing'; might be lucky with Shareware or buying a video editing software.

I used to use a piece of software called VirtualDub, which can do all kinds of things for .avi files, including rotating them.

Its freeware, download it from:

www.virtualdub.org

Once youve done that, check out their forums using the search term "rotate" for guidance (if its not obvious from inside the software - I cant remember, never done it myself ;) )


hth - good luck!

If you've got xp spook why not use the windows picture viewer you can flip it round in there and save it the right way before viewing it as a slideshow!

Also didn't you get the software with your camera I have a Fuji Finepix camera (well actually I have 2 now since I bought a second from Deejay) and the software if came with allows you to edit the pictures.

Hi Wendy - yes I have the editing software but it won't allow me to rotate movie files :confused:
