How to rotate a .mov file

My trusty and somewhat aging Nikon records videos in 15sec chunks, and saves them as .mov files. If you’ve made the same mistake as me, and recorded while holding the camera vertically, it’s a bit annoying. Fortunately, there’s a simple process to string the files together and rotate the picture:

• Get Bink And Smacker Video Tools: http://www.radgametools.com
• Get virtualdub: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9649
• Get your favourite compressor (divx, xvid, wmv etc)
• Start bink and smacker, choose the input .mov file, and convert to an avi. If you choose the first .mov file in a sequence, the software is smart enough to ask to append them all together
• Start virtualdub and open file. Choose filters, and add the rotate filter. Save to output file
• Open previous file, then choose compression options, and resave. Voila!
