Stereo movie player for Linux?
Hello,

I can use the "Stereoscopic Player" in windows,but I would like to check stereo function in Linux.

If there is a stereo 3D player for Linux??Please kindly advise me.

Thanks!!

hi,
this is the only way I've been able to play interlaced (field-sequential) 3d videos in linux:
(note: this should work for a mac too as long as it's a vga-crt and you can disable
deinterlacing in both the video player and the video-card driver. I've never tried it though)

1.) Buy glasses from [url="http://www.xforce3d.com/"]http://www.xforce3d.com/[/url] for $10.
The design is odd but the price is right. The reason for this is that it includes a wired switch so
that you can turn on and change the mode of the glasses and video so that this is a hardware
solution and so doesn't depend on any stereo 3d drivers. So you can turn the glasses on/off
no matter what video card you have (needs 15 pin analog adaptor if your card only outputs digital).

If you don't like the design, you can use your standard wired shutterglasses with an adaptor.
Use the switch to turn on interlaced mode.

2.) You need to use a CRT monitor. Some projectors may work too.

3.) Play your movie with any player that can shut off deinterlacing. I like mplayer.

4.) Figure out how to stop your video driver from deinterlacing. eg: "mplayer ... -vo x11" instead of "mplayer ... -vo xv"
There also can be a -noaccel option somewhere, but the -vo x11 should be enough.

5.) Play video in a window and resize the video until the image looks right (480 lines tall for dvds).
This may not be needed. It should be the right size automatically.

6.) Use the wired switch again to toggle left-eye/right-eye so that image looks right.

7.) enjoy movie. ;)

For a bigger video try "mplayer ... -vf scale=1024:768:1 ..." That rescales odd/even lines
separately so 3d is preserved. mplayer also works in windows and has many other options.
It can convert between over/under, left/right, horizontal/vertical interlaced, and even from
field-sequential to frame-sequential. How to do all that is not so easy to figure out though.

Other people know about some other way to do s3d under linux using some kind of nvidia quatro card/driver.

good luck.

Hi,

there is a stereoscopic 3d video player for Linux now: Bino, [url="http://www.nongnu.org/bino"]http://www.nongnu.org/bino[/url].

To use this with NVIDIA's 3D Vision, you need to configure OpenGL stereo in the NVIDIA settings. Bino will then use this mode by default.
