Portrait orientation of streaming video

Hello all,
I am installing a webcam and would like to install it so the shot is in portrait mode (i.e. turn the camera on its side). It's a standard security camera running over rg59 to a computer that's encoding with Windows Media Encoder (that's what I've got and pretty much no budget to get anything better). Is there any way to set this up so that when viewed on our site, the video will actually be portrait rather than portrait video inside a landscape box (letterboxed on the sides)? The webcam is shooting a massive tank window in an aquarium that is much taller than it is wide, and I'd like to give it that effect on the website.

As pointed out in the thread you inked to, only Quicktime and Flash can display as portrait.

OK, that's what I figured would apply here too. Is there any program available to do what I'm looking for? I've used QT Broadcaster before, but I don't think that will do it.
