if you want compatible 3D, there is no codec war, you just need to choose the winning team for you.
for me, i want mvc because i want full HD from a blu-ray disc.
if you can manage to get SbS at half res on BD, you can go with more codecs.
if you are happy to play from some hardware or software media player, then you can choose almost anything.
for instance , i got only 2 choices, the free nokia or the free JMencoder MVC encoder.
(the latest being used by sony for their ultra expensive apps).
Since Sony and JVC are releasing consumer level camera encoding 3D on MVC, we can expect soon some cheap utility to transfer video from camera to pc and back using that codec.

and just about these consumer 3d camcorder (currently JVC and Sony).
These guys suffer the same illness from everybody because if they put an MVC format in their cam , they use 1080i50/60 instead 1080p24, so good by for compatibility with the 24p of BD.

Hi Adam, hope you've seen this:

best!

No, I did not see it (I totally forgot I was even a member of that forum). Thanks for pointing it out.

And no, I have no plans on working on the script in the near future. My health was failing for quite a while. We are finally finding the right combination of medications to control my diabetes, so I am starting to feel “normal” again, but I am taking it easy.

Plus, I have started working on a completely different project, this one dealing with color grading, though I am not going to go into any details about it because with my health I do not want to make promises and not deliver them.

Adam, i'm really sorry, please take care of yourself.
You are more and more important to us as Adam the healthy.
We love you.
Take care and forget the scripts for a while.

Thanks! :)

Tried to post this over at Doom9, but I'm still in my probationary period.

The sample Sisvel files provided over at Doom9 are actually 1906x1074. Thus the AVISynth code to build a side-by-side (left first) is:

sisvel = FFmpegSource2("07-07_15-06-23_3D Tile Format_-01_new.ts", width=1906, height=1074)
sisvel = BicubicResize(sisvel, 1920, 1080)
sisvelLeft = Crop(sisvel, 0, 0, -640, -360)
sisvelR1 = Crop(sisvel, 1280, 0, -0, -360)
sisvelR2 = Crop(sisvel, 0, 720, -1280, -0)
sisvelR3 = Crop(sisvel, 640, 720, -640, -0)
sisvelRight = StackHorizontal(sisvelR1, StackVertical(sisvelR2, sisvelR3))
StackHorizontal(sisvelLeft, sisvelRight)

The conversion is problematic because of the sample files. The left image seems to be wider than 1280 and the R1 image is narrower than 640. The overall resolution and the sizes of L, R1, R2, and R3 are not what is indicated in the Sisvel spec.

You'll notice I use FFmpegSource2 which reads .ts files. As per the Sisvel spec, the playback is cropped to 1280x720, but by adding the width= and height= parameters to FFmpegSource2, we can grab the entire video. I then resize to 1920 by 1080 to keep everything standardized.

The way I determined the L, R1, R2, and R3 resolutions was to play the original TS file using Media Player Classic at exactly 100%, doing a screen grab, and then bringing the screen grab into Photoshop to use the Ruler tool. (Yes, I have a 1920x1080 monitor on my computer.)

Seref - could you pass this on to the Doom9 thread?

Thanks Tony.

Nick has already passed your post to doom9.

BTW i reported your delayed membership to mods.

Best.

And Tony, i must admit DGNVTools is much better:

Hi Adam,

Even I can get very smooth stereoscopic videos with your tool or Avisynth's "StackHorizontal" or "StackVertical" options; I get shaky results with "Interleave" filter when I make frame-sequential videos. (Unfortunately, your tool does not have such a kind of option.)

Here, I explain the issue detailed:
