I want to change metadata describing video rotation in MOV file recorded by iPhone 5 from "90" to "0".
I unsuccessfully tried exiftool.exe -n -v2 -Rotation=0 file.MOV with following result:
Writing PhotoMechanic:Rotation if tag exists
Writing FotoStation:Rotation if tag exists
Writing MIE-Orient:Rotation
Writing CanonVRD:Rotation if tag exists
Writing CanonRaw:Rotation if tag exists
Writing Canon:Rotation if tag exists
Writing Pentax:Rotation if tag exists
Writing Sony:Rotation if tag exists
Writing NikonCapture:Rotation if tag exists
Writing Canon:Rotation if tag exists
Writing Minolta:Rotation if tag exists
Writing Sony:Rotation if tag exists
Writing Panasonic:Rotation if tag exists
Writing Minolta:Rotation if tag exists

Nothing changed in file.MOV
0 image files updated
1 image files unchanged
Rotation didn't change (file is not modificated, exiftool still display "Rotation : 90" and iPhone is still rotating video).
exiftool.exe -Rotation= file.MOV is also unsuccessful:
Warning: Can't delete Permanent tag Minolta:Rotation
0 image files updated
1 image files unchanged
EDIT1: AFAIK this task can't be done by exiftool. Rotation is Composite (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Composite.html) tag, which can not be edited and is based on tags which also can not be edited. Maybe somebody have different solution (based on different tools?)?
