I downloaded a dixv with torrent and the video file was flipped upside down.

I searched on google for a fix but they did not work.

does anyone know of a way to flip the file right side up?

What I have found so far:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...coder/faq.aspx

Some capture devices create AVI files that do not fully conform to published specifications. Upside-down video may happen with the YUY2 pixel format only.
To prevent this problem, you can do one of the following:

* Set the driver on your capture device to use a different pixel format.
* "Flip" the image if your driver provides such a feature.
* Select the Flip vertically check box on the Processing tab of the Properties panel.

So, if you have the option to flip a YUY2 screen, it may help you to watch the video.

For re-coding the file, try Google using various terms.

Also, www.dvdhelp.com may point you in the right direction.

Sorry I have not been more helpful.

Beats me, but a more barbaric solution would be to use your graphics card control panel to flip the screen 180 degrees if you really want to watch it that bad

i've had this befor, there is an option somewhere in the divx settings to flip the image, i no longer use divx though (xvid only) and i no longer have this problem.

what player are you using to play the vid?

I have a few vids that are upside down when played in Windows Media Player. Just use VLC, it will play them correctly.
