The VideoLAN Forums

I have VLC 2.0 and I'm trying to rotate an mp4 video. I've done the following steps:

Tools/Effect & Filters
Select the Video Effects Tab
Click Transform and select Rotate by 180 degrees
Tools/Preferences - Click on the All radio button in the lower left hand corner
Select Video/Filters/Transformation
Select Rotate by 180 degrees from the drop down box

Then to convert I go to:
Media/Convert-Save
Add a file
Click the down arrow by the Convert/Save button
Select Convert from the drop down menu
Select a Destination File
Click start.

The destination file is created, but it's upside down as is the original. Seems like I must be missing something here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Filters do not apply to record.

Does this mean that VLC can not rotate a video and save it rotated or that I'm doing it incorrectly? I can view the video in the proper orientation.

At least not with the record button.
