I have two different problems closely linked.
On some videos, the predefined rotations (like 90, 270, etc degrees) simply don't work (it doesn't change at all the video).
And when I manually rotate using the rotation button, it will indeed rotate the video but cut a part of it.
To understand what I mean by cut "a part of it", consider a video taken with a phone in portrait mode, lets say width L and height H. If I rotate, the video will indeed rotate but will be cut such that the maximum width will still be L. So I will lose some part of the video, on right and left, if I want to rotate it from a "portrait" format to a landscape one.
Also, on those video the interactive zoom doesn't work. Like I indeed have a miniscreen appearing allowing me to do the interactive zoom but I can't change any options of the interactive zoom when enabled (like how much it zoom, on which part of the screen etc).
I tried to figure out when it doesn't work and when it does and I figured out that it doesn't work when VLC open my video in "portrait" mode. When it opens it in Landscape I usually don't have the interactive zoom problems.
The very important thing to understand is that all those videos were filmed with the same smartphone (galaxy S6), with the same quality. I am almost sure I never told my phone "take this in portrait" or "take this in landscape". Maybe he understood it automatically. But anyway, I think what would solve my problem would be to tell VLC to consider that all the videos it opens are in landscape format (because I don't have the problems there).
In summary, how could I change the format of my video from portrait to landscape, or how to solve my problem ?
It is not a vision of mind those portrait/landscape, on windows when the video work they have the little "movie" border like on the image "Amazon deforestation". When they don't work they don't have those border like on the image 5 Guys in a Limo, see this picture :
(i took a picture from internet because I didn't see how to upload an image here, but anyway as long as you understand what I mean it is ok !).PS : I am on windows 10 (I don't know if it could be windows related).
PS2 : Of course I could try to open all the videos with an editing video software and find a way to save them as a landscape but I would really like to avoid it. I would like to find a way, either telling VLC directly to open everything in landscape, either to solve this bug avoiding to rotate or interacting zoom on portrait video.
Does anyone has an idea ?
Thank you.
