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

I just want to lock down my vibrant when I get in the car or my galaxy tab in portrait mode for video. I cannot find any player that has rotate feature to force the playback into portrait mode instead of landscape mode. I have tried dozens of players. Is it a problem with the Galaxy S line all together?
There are a million threads on this; none of them have a "real" solution to this problem
there are those of us, who due to whatever reason (helmet cams, preference for posture, etc) want to record videos in portrait mode.
What happens (on my sgs2) is that the video records just fine in whatever resolution I pick... but it records it 90 degrees rotated to the right.
The solution that is usually offered is that "you can rotate it after!" yes... but then you have to CROP part of the image and lower the resolution. 1920 x 1080 recordings end up having to be cropped so that half of the view is cut out , or even more if you are maintaining a real aspect ratio.
The questions about "why not just hold it sideways", are just as pointless as the statement by steve jobs telling iphone4 users that they were holding their phones wrong.
is this something that can be remedied ? or has google decided that people should only record videos when their phones are in landscape mode?
i understand that we cant see landscape resolution in portrait mode; but can't we just have a viewport into the camera, but record in properly oriented landscape mode? so that playback on a computer will show the full resolution, even though we will only see part of it on the phone..
i think the iphone works this way?
as i have a severe case of self-diagnosed OCD. I do believe i am entitled to hold my phone vertically and take videos,plus its easier to hold with one hand
if and when i discover the answer i'll post it here.
maybe android 4.0 has solved the problem? I will investigate!
I can't find a reason about why this can't be possible. I want to know if there's a way to take landscape photos in portrait mode (holding the device vertical) on S3.
I was testing this program "Shot Control" it gives you some controllers in the screen, you have half of the screen to see the photo preview, considering the size of the S3 screen it was not a bad layout, but I'll love to have the same possibility holding the device in portrait (vertically) having the preview on top, controls down and taking pictures in landscape.
Is there a program to allow this?
I search over and I saw some solutions for iphone but pretty much nothing for us, here's a related topic:

Anyone?
I have lately bought a Colorfly CT132 Tablet, A31 All Winner CPU.
In all apps (youtube, some game containing videos, a video player ...) the video orientation seems to be fixed (original landscape).
The whole app interface and content seems to rotate correctly based on the way I'm holding the tablet including text, buttons and all...
Even the video frame rotates to match the new location but the video content is always in the original Landscape position.
The video even gets squeezed to match the rotated video frame proportions, but without being rotated (if changing from landscape to portrait).
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
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.?
