I shot a video on my iphone 4 and during filming I turned the camera multiple times?

How do I rotate each clip to be in the same "vision mode"? I already used Windows Live Movie Maker and rotated it once but the that only works for a few seconds and then the rest of the video is out of proportion.

Update:

Guess I should've put this in earlier. The video is less then 15 minutes and I only turned it 3 times

    Split the video so that each orientation is a separate clip then rotate each one to make it right side up. Any video shot with the camera held on its side is going to be taller and thinner than the rest. There's nothing you can do about it except pretend that's the way you, the creative person, wants it to be.

    If you turned the camera while you were filming so that the complete rotation is shown in the video, you might end up having to split each frame which will be hours of clicking the /> button below the preview screen and clicking on "Split".

    You don't unless you want to spend the next 10 years editing each frame. You learn from the experience not to rotate the cam anymore.

    Edit: Would it make a difference? You're no doubt recording at least 30 frames a second. One minutes worth of turned video equates to 1800 individual frames that need to be each turned. Lets say you are recording at 30 FPS. We'll also assume 2/3rds of the frames need to be turned. That's only 18000 frames.
