portrait videos

[sifos]

yes yes, before you say I'm a noob a i should shot videos like every other normal human, hear me out.
My old HTC Desire Z was able to do this. It had android 2.3.3 on it.
When I held it upright: portrait, and started to record a video, it recorder it in portrait and when I played the footage on my computer it was in portrait.

now I have the Galaxy S3, android version 4.1.2, when I hold that portrait during recording the footage appears landscape on my computer. There must be a more simple way to rotate the video than using a editing software to do it.

HTC is able to do it, there must be a way to do it on the S3

Thanks

All i can say is that the s3 records a video in the way most videos are viewed (in landscape mode) lol.
Think if you rotate it, youll lose some of it? Or lose it being full-screen?
Think of the s3 screen as bein the same shape as the cinema or your tv or even a printed picture and think of the cam in the same way. Hold it horizontaly while takin vids, pics.. i only realised like a week ago that people with blackberrys take pics and vid with the phone vertical which confused me lol :beer:
