Android Camera recording video but plays upside down

Question

I record a video using the below code and it records perfectly, but when it plays the video, it plays it upside down.

I tried settings mrec.setOrientationHint(

Answer 1

This should be called before the mrec.prepare(); method

setOrientationHint(degrees);

EDIT: Try mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(degrees);

0 for landscape
90 for portrait
180 & 270 don't work very well and give weird results.

Some older players and encoders do not interpret this flag which is why the video plays upside down.
