Converting Anaglyph 3D Movies Into Full Color Side by Side or Top Bottom

[Noblelox]

I can't wait to try this, but one question... How do you know which eye the 2D version is? I am looking to try this with Shrek 3D, a little 14 minute 3D film that was made between Shrek and Shrek2, and I will be a total noob with many aspects of this process, but this question is the biggest hurdle I can see so far, without even trying it.

@Noblelox - best method is to capture a single frame from both the anaglyph and the 2d (i.e. the same frame) and compare. Put your colored glasses on to view the anaglyph image and take note of which eye's view matches the 2D version. Try to use a frame where the 3D effect is strong - the difference between left and right will be obvious.

In general you would not want to convert files from side-by-side/top-bottom into anaglyph because virtually all video compression codecs seriously degrade the color space. You'll get strong ghosting. A better way to convert to anaglyph is by using real-time conversion during playback... something like Stereoscopic Player from 3dtv.at . By going this real-time route, you avoid any compression problems with the red/cyan or green/purple video.

can you do it the other way round?

You probably don't have the needed codecs installed in Windows. I suggest K-Lite which covers most of the possibilities: codecguide. com/download_kl.htm

wow, super cool! I'm left eye dominant.. so maybe I wouldn't notice the differences in the right eye view :)
