The beta of the EnhancedQT external allows you to do this thanks to 
some sample code provided by Brian Yennie.  If you download the beta 
from <http://mangomultimedia.com/developer/revolution/enhancedqt.html> 
there are docs included with it.  Under "Movie Manipulation" you will 
find qtRotateMovie.  The command returns the newWidth,newHeight in the 
result() function which you need to use to set the new rect for the 
player object after calling the command.  If I remember correctly I 
still need to make a couple of tweaks to it before I release 1.0 so if 
you run into any problems let me know.
