The TV has a setting to automatically select the output ratio or choose the one you want,mine is set to 16.9 but it seems to change by itself.

Do you mean the "Auto format" setting? What happens if you select that?

Re: Upside down Video on TV

I'd look at Avidemux https://avidemux.sourceforge.net/. It has flip options (vertical/horizontal).

It looks like maybe recompressing the video is necessary to apply the flip filter, but holiday movies are probably likely to be short anyway so not too much in the way of processing time.
