I filmed something with my iphone 4 by rotating the phone so that it looks wide. Like a widescreen TV. But when I upload the .mov to youtube, the video is sideways and tall & skinny. How do I rotate it? Is there a setting in iPhoto or quicktime I can configure? Or on youtube?
I'm surprised, Apple always makes things so easy… I would've imagined the camera software would recognize I started filming rotated and saved the picture as such…
There are no known solutions for video input to the iPhone (other than the built-in camera of course). The AV cable you mentioned only provides video output and since there are no pins for video input on the dock connector (although the pinouts have often changed during the history of the dock connector), and the iPhone has no other inputs suitable for video input, this is very unlikely to happen with current iPhone/Pod/Pad models.
The closest solution I can think of would be to use an external recording device (a computer with a video capture device for example) and stream the resulting video the the iPhone over Wifi.

Quicktime allows you some basic editing options such as Edit > Rotate
iMovie allows more options such as cropping, rotate, trim, etc.
When you view your video in Quicktime is it in landscape format? If not, it's possible the phone was vertical (portrait) when the recording started. The camera should oriented either landscape or portrait before pressing record.
