rotating video

Afternoon all

Is there a simple way to rotate a video shot on a camera do it's portrait? I frequently grab a point and shoot camera to video the littlest member of the house if she's doing something funny. Because she is usuially stood up I rotate the camera to get her in the lcd screen on the back as close as possible.

Problem is when viewing in media player etc it plays landscape so everything is 90 degrees out. Any easy way to rotate video like you can with a photo?

Simple as possible please as my I.T skills and knowledge rivals my car electrical knowledge

Thanks as always
Nigel
