Not sure if this was addressed or not but for some reason all of my videos only play back in portrait mode on my computer, even the ones I recorded in landscape. This seem to have started after an update but I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence or not. This wasn't a problem until recently for whatever reason. I have an S10. Even when I "rotate" the video in the media player, it still keeps the vertical borders as if it was a portrait video. This is extremely annoying.
 
Are you using the default video player app? Check in the app's settings menu to see if there are any options to change relative to screen orientation.
If not, you might want to install a third-party media player app instead. Just suggestions but I use MX Player Pro and VLC, both have options buried in their settings to change the default playback orientation (i.e. use the device's default, or always Landscape or Portrait); an added benefit being both also have more options to customize the user interface along with supporting a wider range of media file types than the default player.
