=============================
If Publishing is taking forever...it could
be due to an incompatible file format.

Maybe the following article will offer
some ideas:

Thanks for the info , I can't understand why it should be so complicated once i have rotated the video you would think it would be just a case of save or move to where ever i want , think i might look for something that will do it on Google

Cheers Dave

Video editing is complex...that's just the way it is.

If you find a good utility for rotating videos let us know.

Maybe something in the following articles would be worth a look:
