I've taken videos in profile with phone vertical, which are 90 degrees rotated when downloaded onto computer. How do I rotate videos in order to watch them the right way up?

I've taken videos in profile with phone vertical, which are 90 degrees rotated when downloaded onto computer. How do I rotate videos in order to watch them the right way up?

First, take your videos in landscape!!! This is the orientation videos are generally meant to be viewed in...don't be the guy who posts videos with 80% of it being black bars on the side because it was shot in portrait mode!

Now, I'll get off my soapbox, and since you've already shot these videos and can't go back in time, hopefully this will help...

Here's a YouTube video I was able to quickly find on this subject:
Easily Rotate iPhone 4S Videos with Freemake Video Converter - YouTube

Having never had to use it myself, I cannot vouch for the software mentioned, but it seems to work pretty well for the dude in the video.
