287990 2004-11-04 20:16:00 Hi all, I have AVI files taken on my digital camera that I want to rotate 90 degrees coz its a hassel tiping the screen on the side. Anyone know a good program for this. I use XP pro. kiwibits (5574)
287991 2004-11-04 20:25:00 You could try Moviemaker. It imports AVI. Not too sure if it can do anything after like rotate them. Spacemannz (808)

You can do it with moviemaker 2 but it distorts the aspect ratio.

I sucessfully rotated an avi file using Virtual Dub but now I am stuck on how to compress the resulting 40MB file. I followed the instructions from this page:
www.eicsoftware.com
eg. "From the pull down menu, select Video > Compression > Cinepak Codec by Radius (only because that's what I've been using) > make the Quality 90 > check 'Force keyframes every' 100 frames > OK.

From the pull down menu use File > Save as AVI > name it PeppermintPatti-Above-WithFrame > Save > you might be warned about using an outdated video compression codec, but select Yes to continue (only because I know it works). "

but the quality is rather poor. As I know very little about how to use Virtual Dub and nothing about video compression could you please advise me how I could compress my rotated avi file without losing too much quality?

Many thanks.
