Steve DDD Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have used my new Oppo phone to record a set of MP4 files, being very careful to record in landscape. I transferred them to my PC and I can watch them in landscape by double-clicking. However, when I import them into Roxio Videowave they are rotated 90 degrees clockwise and "stretched" to make them fill the landscape screen (see first image). I can rotate them counter-clockwise, but this causes them to have their size reduced, leaving a large black border around them taking up a significant proportion of the screen (see second image). I do not have this problem when I import videos recorded on older devices, or when I import those same files from my Oppo phone into Windows Movie Maker. The only time I get this is when I import files from this new phone into Roxio! Can anyone suggest how I can import my new MP4 files into Roxio without this automatic rotation?

Steve DDD Posted October 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Delving into this a little further, it seems that MPEG-4 files have metadata which includes a "rotation" flag when they come a mobile from which can be misinterpreted. I'm looking at information on FFMPEG, a utility which supposedly allows you to adjust this metadata. If anyone has any tips or further insights I'd love to hear them!
