Rotate my live video stream?

[ericjkelly]

Hey does anyone know how to rotate and flip live video for Microsoft Expressions Encoder or Windows Media Encoder?

I mount my camcorder upside down and I need to rotate and flip it before I stream it live!

WebcamMax will let you do this by adding an effect. Your stream goes into WebcamMax and then your media encoder uses the WebcamMax webcam. I use this software so I can split my stream amongst different applications, but it was a bunch of extra effects (mostly gimicky stuff).

Thanks Skip!

I found Manycam also!

I'll second Skip's recommendation. WebcamMax runs circles around Manycam. Give it a try!

Probably a dumb question...but why mount it upside down in the first place?

My assumption would be for stability, but I don't want to assume anything either.

Because if you have much slope to your windshield then the boom from the suction cup has to be about three times as long as it does if you mount the camera upside down. So yes, it does make it more stable.
