Well, the movie will get larger in terms of both resolution and file
size when you rotate it, but it would keep Flash from "blurring" the video
when it plays back. You can always just mask the edges. Your movie might
look like this

...and you could just make a mask to cover the blank space. Obviously my
little ASCII drawing isn't very accurate, but you get the idea.

I just try to make the video as close to the way I want it displayed in
Flash as possible, so that Flash has the least amount of effect on the video
as possible. I usually try to do the same with images as well.
