Please help me! I need to finish my project for school?

I was assigned a project for my midterm, and I chose a musical field. I recorded myself playing several songs on the piano at my grandmother's house with my digital Cannon camera. Last night, I uploaded the videos onto my computer, but all of them are flipped sideways! I have been trying all night and morning to find some way to flip them right side up but I can't figure them out. I'm frantic right now, please help!

There are a few video editing programs that can rotate the video images 90 degrees, but you will have to search for them using Yahoo Search and from my understanding they are rather expensive.

Here is one solution from Cheryl on FixYa

"Vista
Start - Programs - Windows Movie Maker
Click Import Media - select the video clip you want to rotate from your files and point and click on it to highlight it - then click the import button lower right corner of screen.
When the file name appears - drag the clip to the video line at the bottom of the screen - point at file name and hold down right mouse button while you move the mouse to point at the video timeline then let go of the right button to drop the video into the timeline.
Point and RIGHT click on the clip you just added to the timeline
Click Effects
Scroll down to Rotate 90 and click to highlight it (you could also flip the video with 180 or 270)
Click the ADD button
Then click OK
The video will rotate.
Be sure to publish and save the new video with a name you can find...
File - Publish Movie - to computer will save it as a file on your PC - to DVD will start another program to create a DVD..."

You have discovered the hard way why most photographers to a "test" of important shots before they continue with their assignment or project. Had you copied your video to your computer right away, you would have discovered that you were shooting the performance with the camera mounted 90 degree off where it should have been.

You can take an incomplete and reshoot the scenes properly, try Cheryl's solution or spend the money for a advanced video editing program which will allow you to rotate your video 90 degrees.
