Yes you can. It should be on the Dimensions tab.

Given that the video plays in the correct orientation on a PC, it probably has rotation metadata in the container indicating the correct orientation. The digital photo frame is simply ignoring this information. HandBrake should also detect this metadata and automatically rotate the video for you. HandBrake's log would indicate this with a message such as "Auto-Rotating video 90 degrees".
