How to rotate a clip and rotate the screen with it?

[Captain Satellite]

What I mean is that I have rotated a video clip but now my subject looks squashed. Is there any way to rotate the screen too? The screen is rotated in vdub but is playing back squashed. I'm running it through TMPGENC and that is where it's getting squashed. I need to run it through 240 by 320 instead of 320 by 240 but that option is grayed out.

I tried rotating a clip in Virtual Dub with it's filter and the aspect ratio of the display was wrong as you indicate. When I rotated it with Avisynth and opened the script in Virtual Dub the display was correct.
I don't have TMPGENC installed on this machine so I can't check further until this evening.

Here is a screen shot. This is how I want it to play in my player but the screen isn't rotating along with the clip in TMPGENC.

do you mean that you can't change to 240x320 in tmpgenc? just click on the size and unlock it.

[Captain Satellite]

Yes, Baldrick. In TMPGENC 3.0 that option is greyed out. Here's a link to the file in question after being run through RAD to convert from .mov to avi, then vdub to rotate, TMPGENC 3.0 to convert to wmv then WMM to shrink further.

okey, tmpgenc xpress...never used it...can't you load some unlock template? or doesn't the help mention how to unlock settings?

[Captain Satellite]

I'll check it out.

and you can use avisynth to rotate, make a video.avs with notepad that just contains:
TurnRight(DirectShowSource("c:\video.avi" ))

and open it in tmpgenc xpress.

When I opened it in Windows Media Player 9 the first quarter played rotated and then it rotated the screen 90 degrees. I'm assuming you did not change the orientation during encoding. In other words you ran your rotate filter in Virtual Dub for the whole length of the clip?

[Captain Satellite]

Right. I'm doing this for a chick who shot this at a concert. All I kept thinking to myself was, 'you were doing just fine, why the hell did you flip the camera?' She said some dudes head was in the way. I'm pretty much lost at this point. I just sent her this link with a flipped player - haha!
