vcr flip

I'm using vcr to record from an v4l device.
But it's flipped, so everybody walks on his head

Any simple solution out there ?

Haven't found something in forum or www.

I've notice that when I emerge the last ebuild version.

I emerge back to 1.09-r1 and all is fine again, but I don't research for the cause of it.

I've changed the codecs and many other things but it's still flipped.
What's wrong with it?

AFAIK it's a bug in vcr (that theoretically will get fixed in an upcoming version). You can use mplayer's -flip option to make them play back correctly (obviously, just a workaround). This thread has some info.
