I have video clips in various formats (AVI, mov, mp4) and orientations (portrate and landscape) from the cameras I've had over the years. I want to watch them on TV (via a DLNA server), ipod and upload to flickr, so will need to rotate some of them and convert them into suitable formats (probaly small-mp4 and larger resolution mp4). I cant find suitable software for the rotating bit, can anyone recommend a cheap/free video editing suite that will do the above in a simplish interface?

Cheers.

I have lost the program I used to do this with. I wrote it myself, because I didn't find anything quick to do it.

You could try this: http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-Flip-and-Rotate.htm

To be honest though, after rotating a few, I decided to always take videos in landscape in future – it isn't like there are any places you'll want to view a video that have portrait shaped screens.

Windows movie maker will do it, if you don't mind WMV format

Cheers joe, I'll give it a try. Agree about the landscape format, but we seem to have accumulated loads of portrait ones as it naturally suits shooting people.

Thanks nbt, I have looked at that but dont want to end up with wmv's as theres then another conversion required to get to mp4.

VLC lets you rotate and convert vids in all formats..
