Windows Media Player Video Playback from I Phone

Heshie75v · 24 Apr 2015

When I play a video sent to me , taken with an I Phone it always plays back either upside down or sideways. How do I rotate the video to my liking ?
Thanks

VLC player (free) can rotate a video 90 deg, 180 deg, flip horizontal etc. Go to Tools, Effects and Filters, Geometry - see pic

a more permanent rotate would prob require recoding

With Movie Maker, you can permanently rotate it.

Does the Movie Maker method require a recode ?

Yes. .mov input does not work too well. Output will be either .mp4 or .wmp. But for such an operation you should always expect a recode.

I would think wmv instead of wmp is what whs was referring to save as = .wmv file type ?

Correct, thanks. I changed it.
