MP4 Video wrong orientation if made in portrait

[Usher]

it would be great if some of you could test whether the following sample app shows your video correctly (upgright and without extra borders):

Works OK in Windows XP with previously provided portraitmovie.mp4, but nothing more. It crashes when minimized and doesn't clean its window when the video playback is finished.

Both versions show my test video https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/portraitmovie.mp4 with correct orientation

Using LAV filters version 0.75

Thanks for your tests! I noticed that the filter crashes when reducing the height or width to 0, so this may be the reason of the crash when minimizing.

I didn't try resizing or minimizing earlier, but can confirm the crach if I reduce the height to 0 or minimize. I cannot reduce the width to 0.

18.06.21 Fixed: Internal media player: detect whether a video needs to be rotated because it was filmed in portrait mode, or upside down - uses vmr9rotator.dll (32/64)

Seems to fix things in TC 10.50b1

Usein LAC filters 0.75.1

Hi all,

I've read the entire topic but to be honest I did not get much... I use MPC (cinema) as my main player, and vertical videos come has horizontal, which is supper annoying. I know the issue is to with the videos because if I open them with Windows Films & TV app they come as vertical.

Any way to correct this?

Thank you for your help.

No problems here using the MPC from the K-Lite codec package, which is installed system-wide.
I have many such videos and they are all rotated correctly using the MPC from TC.

TC uses the orientation flag from the video itself, as written by phones when recording a vertical video.
