VLC alternative to save rotated

[rmvb]

It was confirmed by JBK that VLC can't save rotated. Please what is your best/prefered VLC alternative to reach this, if ever possible in linux.

Thank you

It's a terrible idea. You will lose quality in double encoding. Much better to rotate on the final player.

Note that you can save rotated/transformed video in VLC. It's just that you need to use the CLI to transcode (with the disadvantage noted above).

Hi Rémi
I can't understand why JB told VLC can't do it then. I didn't ask about anything lossless.
I gave a try with my own phone and whatever the autorotate setting was set, only videos caught in landscape orientation relative to the ground will display bottom down in VLC with default settings and in the Ubuntu default player. I guess my phone is not aware of ground/sky for movies although it seems to be for pictures.
Whatever then I'll always advise anybody to always take movies in landscape* mode even it doesn't fit much well to the scene because I don't know a player that can easily deal with that and I feel boring and confusing the VLC way for casual users (the control being ~hidden~ behind a Ctrl+E then a subtab with no easy one-shoot right-click/rotate/90|180|270 or GUI button or keyboard programmable shortcut, and the setting is persistent through other files play-back and sessions which is annoying).
* And stick to this orientation inside a single video capture, what is another problem : a top-great player would handle on-the-fly such an orientation change inside a video (if handled in video format).
Would it be for me only, I'd live with these problems but I want to send some of these videos to friends and I don't want to bother them, then the quality vs orientation tradeoff is done and I'll search the wiki for the command line way you speak about.

Have a nice day man, and please go on good job if you're one of the devs.
Bonnes fêtes
