Turn video upside down?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to turn video upside down?
The video was shot on a portable device (mp4 format) whilst the device was wrong way around, making the image upside down, and I want to keep this particular video.
If this is possible, I'd really appreciate knowing the application that does it.
Many thanks in advance for advice.

MacBook Pro 2.4, 15", 160GB, 4GB., Mac OS X (10.5.4), iPod Video 5G 80GB, iPod Nano 2G 8GB, iPhone 16GB

In FCE or FCP (don't know about iMovie), double-click the clip to load it into the Viewer window then click on the Motion tab. Use the Rotate control to rotate the video any way you want.

I use Quicktime Pro to rotate movies that I capture with an upside-down recorder. Here are some instructions I found:

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I don't have either FC app so will probably use JCNY00's solution on QTP. many thanks.

Thanks for that, it works a treat! Don't know why I didn't notice that option earlier - didn't need it earlier I guess so had a blind spot.
Thank you.
