I've recorded two videos of my infant in portrait mode. Unfortunately when I play them back on Windows (sorry, still need to replace that Mac) they play side-ways.

Does anyone know how I can rotate those videos? It's a cute video and I'd hate to have to spend the rest of my life watching it sideways.

Also: (2nd question) It's easy to sync the videos FROM the phone to the Windows, but I can't seem to get iTunes to sync the videos I've taken BACK to the phone. Anyone else have any luck with this?

Have you added the video to the iTunes media library?

Rotation is very easy in QuickTime, iMovie, and probably any number of other free and paid applications.

I checked the folder that it's in under "photos" (Thinking it was in the same photo library). But, you are right, adding it into iTunes will probably work. ( I can't seem to get ANY videos to add right now, but that's something I'll figure out shortly.) I'm having some iTunes / Win7 compatibility problems.

Ok .. I did read and find out that you CAN rotate in Windows Movie Maker (which I cannot download and doesn't come in Win7 RC1), but I can NOT rotate in Windows Live Movie Maker (which I have). Apparently you can't do much of anything in Windows Live Movie Maker. (HUGE step backwards.)

I did manage to download a little gem called AVS Video Converter that seemed to do the trick though. Thanks!
