Video Orientation (enforce 'landscape')

Hi there,

My question is, can I enforce video to play in landscape orientation?

I've been working on a new app that has a library of videos. I've gone to great lengths to make sure the video is exactly 480 (width) x 320 (height), which fits perfectly on the iPhone screen. This is working great in my app.

However, can I enforce the video to play in this landscape orientation? If the user holds the iPhone straight up (i.e. portrait) the iPhone reorientates the video, and it is shown very small in the middle of the screen. If the user holds the iPhone on it's side (i.e. landscape) then the video is perfectly sized.

I'd much rather be in control of this. I know it will be obvious to some users to orientate to the iPhone on it's side but I'd rather make the decision for them and 'lock' the video to landscape.

There's nothing that I can see in the API about this.

Thank you for any tips,

Paul

P.S. How will this app look on the iPad playing 480 (width) x 320 (height) video?

I'm also interested in this, to show a WebPopup instead of a video in Landscape mode. Can anyone help ?

any solution?
