Rotate video in Windows 7

A colleague emailed me a video that needs to go to our website. Unfortunately, the orientation was wrong (in landscape mode when it should be in portrait mode). I had a feeling this was taken using a mobile phone.

But this was a challenge that needed solving and I was not about to back down. I Googled a solution and came up with one for VLC Media Player (which I have) but I think it's for an older version and the menu system has changed a lot since then. The other solution is to use Windows Live Movie Maker (which comes as part of Windows 7).

So I went through that route!

I opened the video by right clicking on it and choosing "open with > Windows Live Movie Maker"
