Hey,
yesterday, I accidently recorded a video into portrait mode. First, i didn't know how that happend, because i held the phone in landscape mode
I run some tests and found the feature/problem (however).
If you hold the phone for a short while in portrait mode (even 1 sec) and start recording the video, it remains recorded in portrait mode, even if you hold it most of the time in landscape mode.
Is there any solution to turn videos back into landscape mode? maybe without loosing quality?
You could try Avidemux or some other video editor to rotate, but you will have to reencode which means at least some quality loss I guess
But I am wondering how you even get the camera to record your video rotated, because the photo's and video's I shoot rotated do show correctly (rotated) on my phone, but when I transfer them to my PC they are all regular landscape
edit: The information about the orientation of the phone during recording is in the metadata, but I cannot find much information about players that support it Youtube however does recognize the metadata and shows the video with the correct orientation
when i play any movie on i9100 s2 and rotate it to see in landscape mode then it does not play video in landscape mode......is this a bug?????but after switching on autorotate feature in notification bar it play videos in landscape mode....
Ok this is the thing i remember that i was able to switch portrait to landscape mode or maybe it was just my imagination? well anyways i was wondering how it would be possible to switch gmote from portrait to landscape mode.
Using nexus S by the way
I have a nasty problem recording video with my samsung devices (seems to be all of them from S3 to my Note 4)
it adds a rotation tag or some sort to the video. if you start a video with an "unclear" orientation (say flat screen up point straight down) this problem becomes apparent.
or if you hold the phone upright portrait and record a video but then turn it landscape it "keeps" the video in portrait for playback (yes this includes once I upload to youtube extremely annoying)
I will record a video normally and it will be "vertical video" (portrait) instead of landscape like I am holding it.
or as with today the video was rotated 180' upside down.
Is there an app I can install that will let me strip/reset this rotation tag so all my videos playback "landscape" proper and not 90' or 180' ? ie let me "correct" the dumb meta tag rotation tag or whatever it is samsung adds to the video causing it to do this.?
My 7 plus (TA-1062) is running on Oreo 8.1.0. The problem is if I try to watch a movie or video on an apps like Google chrome on landscape mode, the rotation-lock doesn't allow to lock the screen on landscape mode. It's either portrait mode or the auto-rotation mode. If the phone tilts a bit, the landscape mode goes back to portrait mode. Is there any solution to this?
