Can you make a video change from portrait to landscape on I-phone?

July 13, 2017 5:47 AM

I made videos on my I-phone 6 plus but did them in portrait mode. I can see them right side up on the computer when I download them and watch them in windows media player, and they are fine when I download on facebook, but when I try to download them to a DVD disc and watch them on my DVD player they are laying on their side while playing. So I need to somehow change the videos to landscape (after the fact) if that is possible.

From now on I will videotape from my phone on Landscape, but for the videos that are already taped, can I fix them? I'm not really talking about "rotating" a video. I'm talking about changing the mode to landscape so the DVD videos will come out right side up instead of sideways.

Thanks in advance!

Depending on how comfortable you are with the command line, you could do this.

If you still have them on your phone (or reload them onto the phone), you can use a "Rotate and Flip" app to make a copy in a different orientation.
