Ok, just been to the County for the weekend and my mate got a cool video of my doing a wee problem at Bowden. Problem is he filmed it holding his camera upright, not flat, so when you watch it in realplayer or similar it plays horizontally. (Hope this isn't confusing) It looks like I'm layed down on the groung climbing upwards!!!!!

How the hell can I rotate it 90 degrees so it plays correctly?? 

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

Most video editing progs have a 'rotate' effect. Windoze Movie-'Only use as a last resort'-Maker has one which all XP machines has.

Cheers Obi-wan.

I've found the programme you're talking about, but when I try and drag and drop the file in it wont let me saying the format isn't supported.

Confused Cumbrian strikes AGAIN!!!!! 

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

What type of file is it? What is it's extension? (eg. .AVI, .MPG, .MOV etc)

[Mike Tyson]

Hey Obi-wan.

The following message comes up when I try and import the file into winows movie maker.


The file C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\Mike's Climbing Pics\Northumberland 059.mov is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.

I think its saved as .mov

I spoke to some folks who say its not possible to rotate it 

[Bubba]

Some folks are wrong!

I'm not surprised Windows products won't let you import a .mov, but apparantly the full version of Quicktime will let you rotate your movie.

[Houdini]

The full version?  Does that mean one you have to pay for not the one you can get for free?

Cool if it's possible.  Got stacks of side-on movies I'd written-off...

You should be able to do all of that (convert, rotate, whatever) for free with some of the many freeware/shareware apps out there. Couple of sites that may be useful:

There is a ton of stuff out there though, just google mov converter for instance and you'll soon be swamped...
