Does anyone know of an open-source or freeware tool ...

...that can rotate an AVI file by 90 degrees?  I have a number of video sequences I've shot with my Canon digital camera in portrait mode, but of course the player doesn't know that, and while I have an abundance of tools for losslessly rotating JPEG photos, none of the utilities supplied by Canon, and no other utilities I have, will rotate an AVI movie and save the rotated version.  (I can rotate the movies at playback time with mplayer, but cannot -- to my knowledge -- save them.)

mencoder worked perfectly once I figured out the correct invocation. I actually didn't realize I had mencoder along with mplayer, since I've never tried to use it.

Now all I have to do is remember the correct syntax. (Or extend my jpegtool front end, or create a complimentary mpegtool, or ....)
