Why is Handbrake rotating my video?

Post by AidanWalker »

I'm converting a short .MOV file, shot with an iphone in portrait format 480 x 640. Converting the .mov to .mp4 the file comes out sideways. How do I fix this? Here is the log (I tried it twice so it might duplicate):

The library HandBrake uses for decoding QuickTime sources doesn't respect the rotation option that your source has set.

In orderwords, your video is actually upside down to begin with. The player is rotating it upright due to a flag on the file that tells it to do so.
Unfortunately libav does not support this flag, so any players / software (like handbrake) that use it, don't know it's upside down.

There is a rotation filter in handbrake, but it's only available at the CLI. Otherwise you'll need to preprocess the file with something that can flip it before encoding with hb

Eventually we should make it available in the UIs too. It's been improved a bit by j45 so that it can be used for this sort of thing. I guess the main issue would be to get the static previews to rotate as per the selected settings.

Thanks Gents (sorry for delay, been away). So best is to find another way to convert from .MOV, then take it to hb? Point being that it's hb that does the conversion... Better not ask in a Handbrake forum what other apps will do this??!!!

Just to add... I'm not a code kind of guy. The CLI route is a closed book to me, and I'm way too old to start learning how to code...

If the CLI isn't the option, it's time to find other software. People are free to recommend other software on the forum as long as it's not an advertisement for commercial software.

I don't personally have a recommendation though.

Anything QuickTime-based should rotate your video correctly before encoding. So will VLC, and it also features some basic re-encoding capability in the GUI (it's somewhat hidden, can't remember exactly where to look).

I can't get it why the rotate function hasn't made it to the GUI version yet. I also seem unable to add the "--rotate=3" option in the additional options field. Lots of people are using iPhones to capture video nowadays, and this is a major issue when it comes to optimizing them for playback on other platforms.

Please add rotate video option to Handbrake GUI

Post by Tapper »

Using Handbrake Version 0.9.9 x86_64 (2013051800) for Mac. I need the option to rotate my videos 90 and 180 degrees in both directions. Please add this feature!

180 degrees is available in the CLI with the --rotate option.

I just went through this problem with iphone.
You record in portrait mode, as it prompts you to, then it comes out in landscape mode when you use handbrake on it.
I could not rotate it in VLC as some suggested.

So, simple fix: Record videos on your eyephone only using landscape mode.
That means you must rotate the phone 90 degrees.
You will need to practice this to get it right.

Simplest fix.
