Question about vids...

Totally new at this stuff, so forgive me if it's a stupid Q -

My wife took some vids at the last gig I played, but the best one is one where she held the camera sideways. Is there a way to rotate the thing 90 degrees? I can't find it in Media Player...should I do it with something else?

Philbuddy, do you have Quicktime? you can "rotate" vids in Quicktime using Video Properties:

Hmmm...are you a Mac user? I don't seem to have that setting in my QuickTime.

I searched for the movie maker, & I evidently don't have it. So, I went to that useless microsoft site to download it. They made me use IE to do it. Then they said I would get it in updates, & do I want an update? YES...they said I don't need an update...So I searched again...buit it doesn't come up.

I'm getting flusterbated, now...maybe tomorrow will be better, cuz I wanna throw this infernal machine out my WINDOWS!

Ew...grainy & stretched out sideways...I'm gonna send this to Paul, the king of vids, to see if he can make it better than I did...

But...I DID IT...all by myself...sorta...with a little help from my friends...but I'll know some of what to do next time something like this happens, anyway!

I can give it a try too if you want Phil. I doubt you'll be able to send the file by email.
