697784 2008-08-17 00:57:00 Hi everyone.

Hoping someone may know if there is a way to rotate a small (6Mb) .avi file 90 degrees so it can be watched in "normal" landscape view, not on its side as it is now - taken in "portrait" view with a Canon digital camera on end and now we want to put it on a web page - fogot that it couldn't be turned as easily as a digital still. Just wondering if it's possible to rotate it on the web page ?

If anyone can help or point us in the right direction, i'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone else have an easier-to-use suggestion?

Thanks for the suggestion and I've had a look at one site with ffmpeg information - definitely need a simpler method. I only have limited computer skills, not a PHd in computer science !!!
