I think, at least once, but with each such situation happened: on vacation, when meeting friends or just in everyday life, you decided to capture an interesting moment, and at hand was a smartphone, tablet or digital camera. Everything seems to be fine, and the is viewed fine on the device, but when viewed on a laptop or computer, it plays upside down by 90, or even 180 degrees. Agree, watching it with your head turned is not very convenient, especially if the is half an hour long, or even longer. And if you want to upload it somewhere, for example: to contact, instagram or YouTube, who will be interested to watch it in the wrong orientation.

Windows Media Player. Is a standard player for the Windows operating system. This explains its popularity among users. But when there is a need to flip the, say 90 degrees, for comfortable viewing. Questions arise. Indeed, despite a large number of different functions, you will not be able to flip the in Windows Media Player.

Therefore, let’s figure out what methods will still help us turn the on the computer.

Then you just need to rotate the screen in the right direction. How to do this is described in the article how to flip the screen on a computer. For our case, “Option 1” is suitable. But it should be noted that every time you watch a, you will have to perform these actions. If you want to save the in a normal orientation. Go to the next method.

Using Media Player Classic

The third way is to download and install the player. Media Player Classic. It is quite functional, supports many popular formats and operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10. You can download it from the official website: http://mediaplayerclassic.ru/.

Install the player on your computer. Then select the that you want to flip, right-click on it and select “Open with”. “MPC-NS”. If there is no player in the list, click on the “Select program” button and find it.

The player window opens and playback starts. Now make the numeric keypad active by pressing the NumLock button, and using the Alt3 key combination. Clockwise, Alt1. Counterclockwise, expand the until it acquires a position convenient for viewing.

I think these methods are enough to turn the in Windows Media Player. Choose the right one and browse through interesting moments with pleasure.

The question of how to rotate a 90 degrees is asked by users in two main contexts: how to rotate it when playing in Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic (including Home Cinema) or VLC, and how to rotate a online or in a editing program and save him after that upside down.

In this instruction, I will show in detail how to rotate the 90 degrees in the main media players (at the same time, the itself does not change) or change the rotation using editors or online services and save the so that later it plays in normal form in all players and on all computers. However, the right angle rotation is not limited, it can be 180 degrees, just the need to turn exactly 90 clockwise or counterclockwise occurs most often.

How to rotate in media players

To get started, how to rotate a in all popular media players. Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC), VLC, and Windows Media Player.

With this rotation, you only see the from a different angle, this option is suitable for a one-time viewing of an incorrectly shot or encoded movie or recording, the file itself will not be modified and saved.

Media player classic

To rotate a 90 degrees or any other angle in Media Player Classic and MPC Home Cinema, the player must use a codec that supports rotation, and hot keys are assigned for this action. By default it is, but just in case, how to check it.

1. In the player, go to the menu item “View”. “Settings”.
2. In the “Playback” section, select “Output” and see if rotation is supported by the current codec.
   
3. In the “Player” section, open the “Keys” item. Find the items “Rotate frame in X”, “Rotate frame in Y”. And see which keys you can change the rotation. By default, these are the Alt keys, one of the numbers on the numeric keypad (the one that is separately on the right side of the keyboard). If you don’t have a numeric keypad (NumPad), here you can assign your own keys to change the rotation by double-clicking on the current combination and pressing a new one, for example, Alt one of the arrows.

That’s all, now you know how you can rotate in Media Player Classic when playing. In this case, the rotation is not carried out immediately by 90 degrees, but by one degree, smoothly, while you hold the keys.

VLC Player

To rotate the when viewing in the VLC media player, in the main menu of the program go to “Tools”. “Effects and Filters”.

After that, on the “Effects”. “Geometry” tab, select the “Rotate” item and specify how you want to rotate the, for example, select “Rotate 90 degrees.” Close the settings. When playing the it will be rotated in the way you need (you can also set an arbitrary rotation angle in the “Rotation” item.

Windows Media Player

The standard Windows Media Player in Windows 10, 8 and Windows 7 does not have the function to rotate the when viewing it and it is usually recommended to rotate it 90 or 180 degrees using a editor, and only then watch it (this option will be discussed later).

However, I can suggest a method that seems simpler (but also not very convenient): you can simply change the screen rotation while watching this. How to do this (I am writing a long way to the necessary parameters to be equally suitable for all the latest versions of Windows OS):

1. Go to the control panel (in the “View” in the upper right, put “Icons”), select the “Screen”.
2. On the left, select “Screen Resolution Settings”.
3. In the screen resolution settings window, select the desired orientation in the “Orientation” field and apply the settings so that the screen rotates.

Also, screen rotation functions are present in the utilities of NVidia GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards. In addition, on some laptops and computers with integrated Intel HD Graphics, you can use the keys to quickly turn the screen Ctrl Alt one of the arrows. I wrote more about this in the article What to do if the laptop screen is turned over.

How to rotate a 90 degrees online or in the editor and save it

And now in the second rotation option. Changing the file itself and saving it in the desired orientation. This can be done using almost any editor, including free or on special online services.

Turn online

On the Internet there are more than a dozen services that can rotate a 90 or 180 degrees, and also reflect it vertically or horizontally. When writing an article, I tried several of them and I can recommend two.

The first online service isrotate.com, I indicate it as the first for the reason that it is doing well with a list of supported formats.

Just go to the specified site and drag the into the browser window (or click the “Upload your movie” button to select a file on your computer and upload it). After the is downloaded, a preview of the will appear in the browser window, as well as buttons to rotate the 90 degrees left and right, reflect and reset the changes made.

After you have set the desired rotation, click the “Transform” button, wait until the transformation is completed, and when it is complete click the “Download Result” button to download and save the rotated to your computer (and its format will also be saved. Avi , mp4, mkv, wmv, etc.).

Note: some browsers when you click the download button immediately open the for viewing. In this case, after opening, in the browser menu, you can select “Save As” to save the.

The second such service is www.Rotatevideo.Org. It is also easy to use, but does not offer a preview, does not support some formats, and saves only in a pair of supported formats.

But it also has advantages. You can turn not only the from your computer, but also from the Internet, indicating its address. It is also possible to set the encoding quality (Encoding field).

How to rotate a in Windows Movie Maker

rotation is possible in almost any, as a simple free editor, or in a professional editing program. In this example, I will show the simplest option. Use the free Windows Movie Maker editor, which you can download from the Microsoft website (see How to download Windows Movie Maker from the official website).

After starting Movie Maker, add the you want to rotate into it, and then use the buttons in the menu to rotate 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise.

After that, if you are not going to somehow further edit the current, just select “Save Movie” in the main menu and specify the format of the save (if you don’t know which one to choose, use the recommended options). Wait for the save process to complete. Done.

That’s all. I tried to exhaustively outline all the options for resolving the issue, and to what extent I managed to do this is up to you to decide.
