#11649: -noautorotate -display_rotation 0 passes through rotation metadata with JPEG inputs -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Wes Castro | Owner: (none) Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: | undetermined Version: unspecified | Resolution: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Reproduced by developer: 0 Analyzed by developer: 0 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by Wes Castro: Old description:

Summary of the bug: When invoking FFmpeg with a JPEG input that contains `Orientation` EXIF metadata tag and `-noautorotate -display_rotation 0` with an MP4 output, the output will have a display_matrix indicating a rotation starting with FFmpeg 7.1. It is expected that the output will not be physically rotated and not contain any display_matrix.

How to reproduce: Use attached test file (1920x1080 JPEG image with Orientation=6 in EXIF metadata (rotated 90 degs CCW) {{{ ffmpeg -noautorotate -display_rotation 0 -i rotated_image.jpg output.mp4 }}}
