Rotated Video - Sides Cropped

[dummyten]

Hi guys... great program, and great forum.

I want to be able to rotate videos by 73 degrees for playback only.
Now i can do this with the rotate filter in VLC
Not sure if i am applting the filter the correct way,
i go - Tools > Prefs > Show Settings (All) > Video > Filters > under Video Filter Module - tick Rotate Video Filter
expand Filter list > click Rotate and set Angle in Degrees to 73 > Save.

This works perfectly except it does not show the whole picture.
It crops the sides off of the picture, so although the picture is at an angle, the top and bottom of the screen are still horizontal - if that makes sense)

Am i doing something wrong? Is there a way to see the whole picture once it is rotated?

Thanks guys.

It seems that rotated output crops
I made a trac ticket for this.

Something like

Code: Select all

vlc --vout-filter=transform --transform-type=90 video.avi

that works, but you are limited to 90 degree steps.
