Upside down videos

[Tinkerpuss]

My friend's daughter lives abroad and sends my friend videos of her 9 month old grandson which she forwards to me. For some reason they all arrive upside down to my friend then me. I am using windows media player to watch them but cannot see (as with pictures) how to rotate them.
Can anyone please help?

Make sure you have windows live movie maker downloaded onto your computer (it's free).
Open movie maker, then look at the 'open' options - it will give you the option to browse to your video files and open them. then when they have loaded up, you'll see 'rotate' options on the top command bar. Click until you get your movie the right way up. Then go to 'save' or 'finish movie', have a look at the options and choose the one you want.
Done.

... of course a much simpler solution would be to get her to hold the camera the right way up in the first place.

Photo's and video's received in emails, normally arrive in "my pictures", when they are there, any which appear the wrong way round, right click on and place them the right way round. You might find then that if they are in Picasa for example as well, they need to br corrected too.
