I took the opportunity of trying out my camera's video function and I confess to being quite pleased with the results … except for one thing, I held the camera on it's side to take the video shots and now I can't find a way to flip the image through 90'
Has anyone got a simple answer :question:question

Think of the positives at least Phill didnt tell you to turn you monitor through 90 degrees.

Once loaded the video can be "worked on" one of the video effects is to rotate the selected clip through various angles.
Movie maker is a good basic program, if you can use microsoft products within 15mins you will have mastered the basics.

Just completed my first effort at editing 5 seperate videos into one. Like you I took it in the "vertical".
Windows Movie Maker gives the ability to rotate through angles to get it the right way up!
Listed below is the link for the NEW version of moviemaker.

My "first effort" can be found at the link at the bottom of this post, was taken with a Technika SH-550T 5 Mega Pixel camera, at the Eastleigh Open Day.
Subsequent videos which are being edited as time permits, 22 in total and over 1.6Gb of files taken at the Long Marston Open Weekend were taken with a Samsung ES15 10.2 Mega Pixles camera.
Has been a most enjoyable learning curve, wish I had plucked up courage to have a crack at it much earlier.

Although well known as a willing participant in general banter, I was getting a bit frustrated with my efforts and close to just wiping the video clips off the computer and giving up. Moviemaker maybe a standard issue on some systems, but it's not on mine. (Well it is now thanks to John)
Cheers mate :exclam:exclam

Thanks……..:thumbs
Have fun……. it is worth the effort getting the hang of Movie Maker, still a Novice myself, just kept fiddling and trying various options, sort of came together more by luck than judgement!.
Oh! make a copy of the original (s), so you can allways go back and start again.
I'd just let them wash over your head!
Keep the faith…………:doublethumb

A few vids were taken in Portrait format on holiday and so far we can only view them with a major adjustment to our angle-poise necks!
I did hear that this can be done in the 2009 release of iLife but that costs around $200 which does seem a tad pricey just to rotate a file for viewing.
