 * Hello,
 * I would like to understand something more about FFMPEG option.
 * What is this for exaclty?
 * I installed FFMPEG on my server and I configured the FFMPEG path in the admin
   panel, but I don’t see any change. I expected the plugin to convert videos in
   upload… may I have some detailed documentation about this option?
 * Thanks.
 * Best Regards,
    Max

 * Refer page number 8 in the following link [https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https://www.apptha.com/downloadable/download/sample/sample_id/5/WordPress%20Video%20Gallery](https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https://www.apptha.com/downloadable/download/sample/sample_id/5/WordPress%20Video%20Gallery).
   FFmepg is to generate duration of the video for upload method videos.

 * Thanks Karthikeyani. I will go though the document…
 * Also there is one point I don’t understand. How come that some videos play rotated
   by 90°?
    If I record a video with my iPhone 4S in vertical position, and I embed
   it in a website with HTML5, this plays properly. However, with your plugin (I
   believe in this case there is a flash player) the video is playing horizontally
   even if it should play vertically, so it plays in wrong orientation.
 * Thanks

 * Please visit this link:
 * [http://rakkordo.com/videogallery/maxdes/](http://rakkordo.com/videogallery/maxdes/)
 * This is an example of a video uploaded with your plugin.
 * It’s very short but it should be a good example anyway.
 * I shot this video with an iPhone 4s in vertical position. In my MAC this is displayed
   properly, but with your plugin this is displayed flipped by 90°.
 * Thanks

 * I have checked the link and video and noticed that the video is playing same 
   like windows media player in video gallery player. Please refer [http://screencast.com/t/YYOdMrBl](http://screencast.com/t/YYOdMrBl)
   and check. If you are still facing the same issue, feel free to contact the support

 * Hello Karthikeyani,
 * Sorry but I didn’t get exactly what is the point you want to share with me.
 * If I play this video, the original one (before upload) I can see this playing
   vertically with my MAC.
    Once I uploaded it, from the plugin web interface, I
   see this video flipped by 90°.
 * What is the point to compare it with Windows media player?
 * Thanks,
    Max
