[X4U] Can video be made sideways?

[Jim Elmore]

I misunderstood the request here and went looking for rotated display  
software and found this.

You can rotate your display 90° from the Displays System Preference  
by holding down the option key when launching it.

Thought I'd share.

In this instance, I suppose you could do your presentation vertically  
(Powerpoint, QuickTime, Flash, etc.), and then capture it if you  
needed to with SnapZ Pro or other screen capture software and make a  
DVD from that capture.
