+**NOTE:**  Even though the rotation here is 270, the width and height are still shown as if the orientation was portrait.
+  * Due to the 270 rotation, in reality the actual input should be 1080x1920, and not 1920x1080.
+    * But ffprobe reports the actual width x height; Width is displayed first, then height (no matter the order it is requested).
