HandBrakeCLI Video Rotation Not Working

Question

I have been using the following command to rotate video 90 degree clockwise

HandBrakeCLI -i ip.mp4 -o op.mp4 --preset="Universal" --rotate="4"

Which is working properly in my windows machine. When i try with the same command on linux server video rotation is not working. Also tried these commands in linux server which are also not working

HandBrakeCLI -i ip.mp4 -o op.mp4 --preset="Universal", --rotate="4"
HandBrakeCLI -i ip.mp4 -o op.mp4 --preset="normal", --rotate="4"

Linux Server HandBrakeCLI Version - 0.9.5 Windows machine HandBrakeCLI Version - 0.9.9

Please correct me if am missing anything

That works for me also in my local windows machine but not in linxu server. — Aravind0307, Sep 15 '14 at 04:50

I recently encountered this problem and was able to get rotate working with the latest HandBrakeCLI (v1.2.2) using a slightly different set of options.

For example, the following command was successful for rotating my encoded video by 90 degrees, clockwise.

$ HandBrakeCLI --preset="Fast 1080p30" --rotate="angle=90:hflip=0"

The supported values are [0, 90, 180, 270]. I only tested this on macOS but don't suspect other platforms will be different.
