Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 I don't see any solution right now - my only hunch is that reading the
 Apple-specific metadata for an Apple-generated file would allow us to
 purposely do a 90 degree CSS3 transform on a portrait video to make it
 appear correct. That's the best case scenario which I have no code to
 support. Seems like this data would be in the ID3 library if it was
 possible to extract reliably.

 The main issue is probably the endless number of vendors' metadata to read
 to know what the `rotate` of the phone was when the video was recorded. Is
 there any other scenario where a video would be in portrait orientation,
 other than when recorded wrong with a phone?

 Maybe I've been staring at the code too long and am going insane, am I
 missing something?
