Rotation of an image wxh will give an image hxw so you *do* a kind of 
rescaling, so you will have to master what the rescaler code does in ffmpeg.

strlen? Certainly not!

For YUV420P there are wxh bytes in the Y plane, (w/2)x(h/2) in the U 
plane, ditto V. Each byte in the U plane is the average of U for the 4 
neighbouring pixels.

Post precise descritions! '80% of the picture' is meaningless. Unless we 
get a prize for guessing right? Hint: I suspect the output image is not 
correctly initialized (wrong w or h or linesize or ...) or incorrectly 
saved.
