How can I rotate them on screen? I can't find an option in the QuickTime
player. And iMovie won't read them because they're the wrong type of
QuickTime, apparently.

It can be done in QuickTime player pro. It was fiddly and I forget
extacly how (standard operating procedure for anything to do with QT
player) but I think it is in the re-size area. If you can get red
handles on the image there is some magic for rotating it.
Pretty useless except for encouragement purposes I know. If you are
still stuck I'll try to resurrect the recipe this evening after work.

Open the movie, hit Command-J, choose the video track, choose size. There
are little buttons in the window to rotate the movie by +/- 90 degrees, and
to flip the movie horizontally and vertically.

If they have been taken as a series of stills in a standard format, you
might be able to batch rotate them in GraphicConverter. It's pretty quick.

That's the recipe! squirrelled away. Thanks
or if you have premiere you could save them in filmstrip mode, batch
rotate them in photoshop and then reassemble in premiere

Er, not on mine it doesn't. There aren't any buttons that I can see.
What version are you using?
6.something Pro.

Ah, it's the Pro bit I'm missing ;-)
Thought it might be! It is a useful upgrade IMHO.

This may be a very silly question, but how can I see if they're taken in
this way?

(PS - I don't have quicktime pro, just the free player.)

I'm not sure. But just try dropping your movie onto GraphicConverter and if
it swallows it, see what options turn up in the menus. I never cease to be
surprised by the unexpected goodies that turn up when I try that kind of
thing.

Tried opening it with Graphic Converter. It plays fine, but still resolutely
in its side! The rotate option in grayed out...
