Public bug reported: Movies made with iPods and iPhones are encoded with orientation information, because users hold them in arbitrary positions when recording movies (they are meant to, there is no right way to hold an iDevice, apparently. Unless you are making a call on an iPhone 4). At the moment I see upside-down and sideways movies sent from iPhones and iPods.
If you hold the device on its side while recording a movie, playback should recognise this and have gravity in the recording represented in the most sensible representation on the display device (in most fixed monitors I guess this is positive on the Y axis, if (0,0) is on the top left). I.e. match gravity in the recording to gravity on playback.
