Personally, I suspect the former. Rotating MJPEG is really a step up from rotating a single JPG image, but rotating a stream with any sort of past/future frame references would be hard.
There is a non-standard flag (not well respected) for rotating video in MP4 but there is no way to rotate H.264 video losslessly. I am assuming H.264/AVC is what is inside your MP4?
