Ok, so I messed up.  I just got my first digital camera, got a great deal on a new Canon A530  5MP camera that also takes 10fps movies.  They're not the greatest, but it's convenient when camcorder isn't handy.  

Because it's a camera, and I was shooting some vertical scenes like a tall waterfall, I turned the camera sideways like you'd do for a portrait picture, then recorded a movie.  Of course, the movie I got (Waterfall.avi) is 'sideways', you have to turn your head 90-degrees to see the waterfall.  I should of course keep the camera in the horizontal position for movies, regardless of the scene.  

But I like this particular 1-minute movie (and a few others that are sideways).  So, is there any way with any of the applications in Roxio EMC8 to "easily" flip all the frames so the movie is normal, not sideways?  Which application would it be, and I wondered what the clicks might be, and if I can save it back down as another .avi file with same (no loss) resolution?

Thanks,
George

Put a color panel in VideoWave timeline the same length or a little longer than the clip.  Add the clip to an overlay track.  You can then rotate it.  Remember that the size will be skewed but you should be able to resize it.
