can somone tell me about using my cuttent tv..

like i have a 240 hz lcd.. and soem ppl tell me i have to have a new 3d tv.. to do the 3d...

other info tells me u just have to have 120 hz...

@specialformula14 Your TV might have 240Hz processing but it is completely different to 3D. The 3D TVs need to have advanced picture processing to change the differing images - side by side and sequential - into images that create the 3D image, plus sync methods for teh glasses and images. Your 240Hz TV has frame interpolation which is a different technology altogether. So yes, if you want 3D you need one of these new TVs.

Titanic will be good in 3d because James Cameron has taken his time to do it do it will look like it was shot in 3d

Lose the backing track !

The music (?) is very distracting.

I got a Aiptek 3d Camcorder it records Side by side mov files but when I was in the retail shop I asked to connect it to a 3d tv via HDMI cable it displayed side by side image of the recorded movie but not the 3D image. Is there some thing wrong with the HDMI cable, the camera or maybe the TV????. can you help as I am deciding what tv to use for editing and film making for my camera.

AVForumsTV You may be misinforming the general public just a little here. Your video states that in the 50s and 80s 3d films were made in the "anaglyph system". This is not true. 99% of the films from the 50s were filmed in dual strip polarized 3d, and in the 80s single strip polarized was mostly used. Every movie poster shown in your video were filmed and projected in polarized 3d.

It is a general misconception that anaglyph was used, just thought you should know.

ok good vid,

but for god sake turn down the backing track, then throw the backing music out of the window and ask yourself why did i choose the worst piece of music ever to compliment a good factual video?

i think there's a lot of people wondering this, and may have missed chunks of info, while pondering this ludicrous choice of ken boon.
