2012-07-21T16:02:00.004-07:00

in this post i will show you how to convert specifically Side-by-side and HALF-side-by-side 3d content to Yellow/Blue anaglyph format using a few FREE tools :)

The tools you will need to download and install are :

Media Player Classic

Avisynth

FFDshow

Pantarheon 3D AviSynth Toolbox

Ok , so you have downloaded and installed all the tools above, now we are ready to configure them !!

Configure FFDshow:-

1) Gotto Start Menu > Programs > FFDshow > and click video decoder configuration

2) Select Codecs and setup ffdshow to use all of the formats that you want to convert to 3d

(usually h.264 and xvid will be the main formats you are going to be decoding)

3)Now scroll down to the avisynth tab , and activate it by checking the box

4)Now enter the following into the script box

c = ConvertToRGB32()
 w = c.width()/2
 h = c.height()/2
 LeftRight3DToYBAnaglyph(c).Lanczos4Resize(w, h)

it should now look like this ... save and close

5) Setup FFDshow audio decoders if you feel its neccesary Start Menu>>Programs>>FFDshow>>audio decoder configuration and select all you want it to decode, this is not neccesary to setup if your sound is already playing fine and you are happy with your current sound decoders, personally i use AC3filter

Now your ready to rock 'n roll ! .. in 3D !! :D just open your video file in media player classic and if all is well it will be combining the SBS images into 1 single anaglyph video :)

if you still just see the normal SBS image then Media Player Classic is probably not using FFDshow to decode the video, hence now applying the avs script to it , if this is the case see below on howto force mpc to use ffdshow decoder

put on your Yellow/Blue glasses and enjoy :D

Configuring Media Player Classic if it wont use ffdshow to playback video :-

1)Open Media Player Classic and gotto View>>Options to bring up the Options menu

2)On “Internal Filter” unchecked all Filters

3)On “External Filter” unchecked all Filters and click Add Filter to add another filters

4)Find “ffdshow Video Decoder” and change from “Set Merit” to “Prefer"

Types of 3d glasses

2012-07-20T02:45:00.002-07:00

Anaglyph

This is the oldest format and has been around since at least the 1940's and use a method called Complimentary Colour Anaglyphs, this effectively screens out certain colours to each eye creating a 3D image. Anaglyph 3D Glasses can be used for print and photography as well as 3D films and 3D computer games.

There are many different types of anaglyph glasses, below i have listed all the kown formats.


					Red/green
					Red/blue
					Red/Cyan
					anachrome
					mirachrome
					Trioscopic
					INFICOLOR
					ColorCode3d
					Magenta/cyan

Active

These glasses act as small LCD screens (shutter glasses), when a voltage is applied the lens goes 'dark' or shutter closes. Each eye sees a slightly different angle of the image and each lens being synchronised with the screen. The shutters open and close alternating between the two lenses. You will need active glasses which can cost between £50 and £150 to watch an active screen.
Active glasses deliver a higher resolution image, a superior image but the cost of the glasses reduces how many people can watch the screen at one time.

Passive

Polarisation is another form of viewing 3D video and the glasses work by filtering wavelengths of visible light to each eye. Passive glasses are very affordable , and are often branded with the client name or logo.
Passive glasses do not have the same high resolution viewing as the active screens but work well for large audiences and the obvious marketing benefits of the branding.

Stereoscopic Player .. nice player but NOT FREE

2012-07-20T02:30:00.003-07:00

Stereoscopic Player is a very easy and powerfull way to view your 3d content, and it also can play SBS content as anaglyph .. but theres a catch , unlike my method of using MPC and ffdshow .. stereoscopic player is NOT FREE !

its well worth a mention tho as its quite a unique product and is very easy to use, it will display any 3d content to ANY 3d output including anaglyph and active shutter.
