Appropriate Movie Quote Of The Day
It's not important how many people I've killed. What's important is how I get along with the people who are still alive.
Which movie?

That's not a movie question. That's what the missus said the last time I tried to tell her how to iron my shirts...

A young brunette goes into the doctor's office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it.
"Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me."
She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony. She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams and so it goes on, everywhere she touches makes her scream.
The doctor says, "You're not really a brunette, are you?"
She says, "No, I'm really a blonde."
"I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken."

This might be a technical question, but it's not a programming question. Just something I'm wondering about, and maybe some of you can present me with an explanation.
It's quite common nowadays that you use your mobile phone to record a video clip, often in mp4 format.
I have seen some examples now that such a clip is shown correctly in some players but rotated 90 degrees to the left in other players.
I've got an example right now. The missus asked me to help one of her compter illiterate colleagues. Ha had recorded a video in portrait mode and it shows in landscape mode rotated 90 degrees.
I tried it for myself, and sure enough: In Windows Media player, it shows fine, but when I view it in VLC it is rotated.
Can anyone explain this? And how the fluck do I get it to play correctly in all players? Apparently it's now a question of merely rotating it as I started out thinking...

It's because some players recognise the correct up direction (a particular flag is set when the video was recorded) and some don't. One way to guarantee it is correct is to open it in your preferred video editing software, rotate it 90 degrees and resave it.

Thanks. I tried rotating it using VLC player, but that just corrupted the file. In the end, I used MP4Box which corrected the problem and preserved all other settings.
Am I the only one who's thinking "Why the hell is this a problem at all?"

I don't know if this may be the cause but different devices have different default orientations.
I noticed this when I was playing around with HTML5 detecting device orientation. Zero degrees was when the phone was in portrait mode and when the tablet was in landscape mode. All rotations were relative to those orientations on the respective devices.
Try making a video on a phone and a tablet and see if this has any effect on the orientation the player determines to play the video.

How can it corrupt a file if it doesn't write to it? (At least that's always been my assumption about VLC--why would a player ever need to *write* to a file?)
I personally would've used Tools|Effects and Filters|Video Effects|Geomatry|Transform (that's where you have all the flip/rotate options), but that only affects playback, it wouldn't change the original file otherwise. Are you claiming it does??

No. I used VLC player to rotate the movie and save it as a new movie. Since it was not my movie, but somebody else who had the problem - a person which as mentioned is computer illiterate, don't know how to use VLC player and just wanted to watch the movie in his Windows Media Player.
But the transformed and saved file was corrupt yes! The original was of course untouched (but also not corrected)
I don't think you read my post close enough to understand the problem...

The problem is that I didn't even realize VLC could apply transformations to a file, and actually *save* the results to a new one. In that case, then yeah, it absolutely makes sense that it could produce a corrupted file.

You CAN[^]. Although I admit that it is not common knowledge.
I interpreted you post as though you thought it was I myself who just wanted to view the movie, though... And in that case it would of course suffice to rotate the output directly and not bother about the file.
