I have an .mpg movie file that plays with the images rotated 90 degrees to the left. Is there any utility or editor that will let me rotate the images into the proper orientation?

I downloaded and installed this free utility. Unfortunately, it's still in development, and even though it's process is still running on my NT box, for all intents and purposes, it crashed while it was decoding my .mpg file. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

A wonderful (and expensive) program by the name of Premiere (made by Adobe) is capable of doing this.. I have it here at work, If you'd like I can do it for you,, just Email me directly, and I'll tell you where to send it...

Michael converted that file for me and posted it for me to download. What a great help!! Thanks to everyone else who posted suggestions. I appreciate the time and effort. Here's what Michael wrote about converting the file:

"You have actually helped me learn a thing or two about something
I've been doing for a couple of months now, and figured I was pretty good
at.. Here's the scoop, MPEG formats only come in a few sizes, the one you sent me was 160x112, therefore when you flip it,, it becomes 112x160 (not a size offered in the MPEG world) in any MPG standard...what I had been doing for my work was creating AVI files with premiere, and they've worked at rather well, although a lot higher quality, the file size and download time shows the difference. there are plug in's for Premiere that will allow for the making of an MPG format, but the cheapest one is like $150, and I just asked my boss to buy me something else for the shop
the other day,, don't want to be too pushy...anyways,I turned it and saved it in AVI and MPG form..
Instead of Emailing it to you (a 4 1/2 meg Email is kinda rude) I'm going to
upload it.

if you wish to download it.. Please tell me otherwise so I can trash it, but
It looks rather nice...the other file is that AVI into MPEG version.
I used a program suggested by my friend to do it...I forgot what it was called, but He burned the trial on the disk, I can sent you that if you'd like too..."

and search for pe-mu. It'll be at the bottom of the next screen in the download section:

PE-MU v2.71 05-16-01

Requirements: Windows 9x, NT, or 2000

Purchase Information: Shareware: Free to try, $25 if you decide to keep it.

PE-MU is a handy way to view graphics files. A simple interface displays both an Explorer-like folder tree and thumbnails of graphics in a given folder. Picture Exhibitor handles nearly all common graphics formats (.jpg., .gif, .tif, .png) plus it handles cursor files, icon files, and will display the first frame from .mpg and .avi video files. Double-clicking on a thumbnail brings up the image in the internalviewer, and you can adjust the size and rotate the image. Other features allow you to run a slide show, crop images, animate a single image with effects, and print. Picture Exhibitor lets you convert images from one format to another, with plenty ofcontrol over size, quality, color palette, and so on. The documentation is sketchy, but those familiar with similar programs should have no trouble figuring it out.

Try this:
In Adobe Premiere 5 or 6, use the pointer to select the clip. Choose Clip>Video>Motion. From the motion dialog box change the rotation setting to correct the video orientation.

Hope it is helpful.

Not for free! Go to adobe and check out there director suit. One thing you might want to try is looking on the microsoft web site for .asf creator and converter. I know that it is there I just don't no the name of it. I know that it comes with windows 98 in the acceres folder if it selected to be loaded. It has the capablity to convert and mulipulate mpg's. Onther thing that you might want to try is the acdc program. I know taht it can mulipulate all types of media. good luck.

Try using microsoft word to rotate the image. (paste the pic in to a document, and on one of the tool bars will be a button that allows you to rotate the pic.)
