Rotate Video 90 degrees using Handbrake

Rotate Videos

//This is a handy trick to rotate videos filmed in the wrong orientation (big problem with smartphones)

//Use Handbrake Version (0.99 or higher) 

, --rotate=4 
on the Extra Options under Video tab

I use Handbrake 20160906131026-b177d33-master and this no longer works
rotate 180° , --rotate=3 doesn't work either

Same issue as @Cantar4
To be clear though I'm using 0.10.2 from the ubuntu PPA mentioned on the site. On checking the logs I noticed this"

x264 options: Unknown suboption , --rotate

I tried finding what the proper format was but there doesn't seem to be any mention of rotation anywhere. I tried using Avidemux too but that just managed to crash half way through.

Had the answer: It doesn't work in the gui any more (HandBrake 0.10.5)

Even on OSX, I'm unable to use the gui to trigger --rotate.

HandBrakeCLI does work though:

HandBrakeCLI -i infile.mp4 -o outfile.mp4 --rotate=3 -b 1000

This is a little different with the latest HandBrakeCLI (v1.2.2). The following command can rotate video by 90 degrees, clockwise.

$ HandBrakeCLI --preset="Fast 1080p30" --rotate="angle=90:hflip=0"

The supported values are [0, 90, 180, 270]. I only tested this on macOS but don't suspect other platforms will be different. This syntax probably also applies to the corresponding GUI version of HandBrake.
