Please add option to ignore rotation info in metadata about lossless-cut HOT 4 OPEN

Not sure what you want to do here. You want to merge up-side-down footage with non-upside-down footage? that is not possible to do correctly because it's not possible for the rotation metadata to change over the course of a single video. Or do you want to take a folder of 100 videos and just remove all the rotation metadata from all the videos to make them show in their original raw recorded orientation? if so, I think it can be easily achieved with a bash command:

for file in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 rotate=0 "$file"-out.mp4; done

Thank you, I will look into trying this method. For now I just ended up chaining the segments together in DaVinci.

I have concluded that sadly, it is not possible to invert a video just by setting the 'rotation' flag to zero and concatenate/merge it with a video that was filmed right side up (aka normal). It seems that flag only exist to indicate to players or devices that support that flag how to play back the video. So televisions or players (eg VLC, QuickTime Player, etc) can play back the up side down video correctly.

I have tried setting the 'rotation' flag to zero in the metadata. I have tried rotating the video in LosslessCut and export it. Regardless how I slice it, when I merge a regular video (where the camera was right side up) with a video where the camera was up side down, when you merge/concatenate them they will end up just like that. One being right side up and the other is being up side down.

It seems the only way out of this is recompressing the up side down video either in an app like HandBrake or concatenate the two videos in an editing software.

That is correct. I believe the FAQ mentions this problem.
