Re: rotate video 90 degrees

As to why I'd want to record it that way, for the same reason one
takes stills in portrait mode -- a matter of composition.  Oh, I could
take the video in landscape mode and crop the sides, but besides being
an extra processing step, one loses some resolution in a genre
(consumer digital still camera in video mode) that doesn't have very
much to start with.

But you lose EXACTLY the same resolution when you rotate the picture as you came here asking about. That is the point I was trying to make.

The only reason to shoot video in "portrait" orientation is
if you have some special display venue (like a custom
museum exhibit, etc.) where you can rotate the viewing
screen (projector or monitors.)
