How Do You Flip a Video in VLC Media Player

We are very fond of videos. All of us like to see videos in various ways like movies, video songs or even video presentations. We often record videos with our Smartphone, digital cameras and love to share them instantly on YouTube. When we love to share videos we also have some issues with rotating videos. During recording sometimes we rotate our Smartphone and as a result our video also been recorded in 90° angle in most of the cases. So before share this we need to rotate the same into normal position. If it is a picture, then it is very easy for us as we already have so many ways. When it is a video format we are in big trouble.

We can easily solve this problem with our very own VLC Media player.
