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.

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.
