My brother in law always records his children with the camera on the wrong side, so he always uploads video files that are skinny with wide black bars on the side. It's annoying to watch to be honest and I have no idea why he could never remember to record properly. I've pretty much given up on the hopes that he would one day stop making the same mistakes, so I found a work around by using aimersoft to rotate the youtube videos that he uploads of my nephews. Not the best solution, but a great work around.
