Hi,
Probably a question that has been asked before, but expressed differently, somehow...

I am using Win 7 vlc player 1.1.11 (which I believe to be the latest, and have just read how to alter the orientation of an avi file (rotate it).
Just wondering how to save this new orientation?

thanks

If by save you mean in the file, I fear you'll have to transcode it with the rotation filter activated.

Thanks TypX for the prompt response.
That sounds a bit much for this layperson

How do i achieve this?

(Most of what I reaseched pointed to windows movie maker, however this is not compatible with windows 7.....)

regards

You can do it with vlc : Follow http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... _HowTo_New

Activate the transcoding and in the final textbox with a ":sout=#transcode{...}:file{...}" you'll have to add vfilter=rotate{angle=<your angle>} inside transcode{}.

example:

thanks

After 2 days of searching solution for exporting live stream from my Axis camera into a file with 180 degrees rotation I finally found it.

Originally I had this:
":sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=none}:file{dst='<output_file_path>'}"
That works fine but I got video upside down.

Then I tried this:
":sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=none,vfilter=rotate{angle=180}}:file{dst='<output_file_path>'}"
Rotation worked but output video was 16x16 size.

After this article "http://www.wintips.org/how-to-rotate-an ... ia-player/" and some digging in VLC player logs (vlc.exe --verbose=2 --file-logging --logfile=vlc-log.txt) I came up with this:
":sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,width=1280,height=720,vfilter=rotate{angle=180},acodec=none}:file{dst='<output_file_path>'}"
Width and Height parameters prevent scaling output video into 16x16.

PS: I am using VLC 2.1.3
PPS: "transform{type=180}" doesn't work in some reason
