I take sideways movies by accident fairly often, and it never even occurred to me that there was a way to fix this! Go JZ with the asking! I await the answer...
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The word "Windows" scares me - will it work on a Mac or just muck things up worse?

I just opened up iMovie to see if I could find a solution, and...wow. I really really really really REALLY hate iMovie. I'd almost forgotten how much.
Er, which is to if you don't have FCP or FCE, a free solution is to download MPEG Streamclip and use that instead. (When you select "Export to Quicktime" there's a field for "rotation" that lets you select the angle and direction you need.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

OTOH, I've seen the same cryptic two-sentence comment all over the place today, most often interpreted as benignly as "we won't promise not to fuck with your ringtones again". I suspect the truth is somewhere in between, or maybe more likely, that The Steve was digging on sounding all oracular and shit.
