I have a couple of videos taken on an iphone , that are upside down when playing them on the computer.

can anyone tell me how to flip them so they are right side up?

If you're not adverse to a bit of command line action

Code: Select all

avconv -i video.mp4 -vf transpose=1,transpose=1 out.mp4
Just swap out video.mp4 for whatever the video is called and out.mp4 for whatever the final copy should be called

thanks, but I found a different way. I just played it in VLC, and there was a setting in the tools to flip it.
