One of my Skype pal's video webcam which is built into the notebook is somehow trasferring frames upside down. She can't really do much to fix it. Therefore I have to find a way to flip incoming video strem. So the question - is there any software that may let me to flip the incoming video? I know there is a software to flip outgoing frames, but she can't install it, out of question.

ask her to get the tech service to flip the camera back – Shakehar Apr 26 '11 at 14:35
I need solution from my side, please. I know many solutions which can be done from remote side, but none of them are applicable. – Pablo Apr 26 '11 at 14:37
I haven't played with Skype video. Can it be recorded in any standard format? I believe that ffmpeg can rotate/flip video streams and files, but that won't help if Skype is using a proprietary format. If Skype won't give you direct access to the video frames, you'll need to ask them to add this feature. – CarlF Apr 26 '11 at 14:43

Looks like this port thing is related to voice and requires API usage, haven't found it in settings. – Pablo Apr 26 '11 at 15:32
