From Alessandro Terenzi, "I've modified the avfoundation plugin to copy the preferredTransform matrix into the UserData property of the corresponding imagestream: by doing so, we can realize if the video should be transformed when applied as a texture (this should be the case, for instance, when we record a movie using an iOS device with any orientation different than 'landscape left')."
