Video orientation for iphone wrong
I have a vertical (portrait) oriented video shot on an iphone. Transcoded down to 3MB h264 mp4.
It's showing up sideways, in the wrong orientation.
I was wondering if there something wrong with my transcoded video or is VideoJS unable to figure out the orientation hints ?
I did some searching in the discussions and on google and couldn't find anyone mentioning this issue.
Thanks for your help!

It's how the video is encoded on iOS. So quicktime stores and plays back the correct orientation, but most players can't read this information. You have to encode the video in the correct orientation. Trying to figure out an approach myself. At one point I locked my app in one orientation, but I want use all.

Same issue. Also happens with Android videos. Quicktime plays them all at the right orientation but videojs (and VLC for that matter) don't. Has anybody figured out a workaround? Or even better . . . are the videojs people working on a way to autodetect and play at the right orientation?

On iOS use the AVFoundation apple library to encode and rotate video, just like you would with an image, video also needs to be encoded. Video Js isn't going to be able to flip video.
