Rotating video on the fly

[TwixtedLogic]

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum and have a question.

Is there a media player that can rotate and play an avi file at an arbitrary angle. Meaning you can tell it in the beginning to play test1.avi at 22 degrees rotation. When the clip is done playing then you tell it to play the same test.avi at 75 degrees rotation etc.

I know I can rotate the clips at an arbitrary angle with virtualdub (or other video editors) before hand and then play it but I need to be able to specify an arbitrary angle and the media player play it without creating separate files for each degree in advance.

A (non-exhaustive) web search revealed that there is at least one such software (Kinoma player 3 EX) for Palm OS. I wonder if there is one for Windows, Mac or *nix.

If such player is not available, is it possible to rotate any media player window in Windows (or Mac) at an arbitrary angle using some third party software or with some script. I couldn't find any. If it is possible, will it affect the video if the player window is rotated somehow.

This is for a research in a school and any help will be greatly appreciated.

I posted it in another forum but nobody there had seen any such player.

Thanks.

Media Player Classic can rotate video. No way to set it to play each clip at a certain angle though. AVISynth would probably be best for that.
