[TriLUG] Camcorder -> DVD with a 90 degree rotation?

[Cristóbal Palmer]

Pipe through mplayer?

From the mplayer manpage:

      rotate[=<0-7>]
              Rotates  the  image by 90 degrees and optionally flips
it.  For values between 4-7 rotation is only done if
              the movie geometry is portrait and not landscape.

                 0    Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and flip (default).
                 1    Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise.
                 2    Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise.
                 3    Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise and flip.
