Help me understand this 3d technology need clarification
Does the 3d vision alter the image through playback or just how it's rendered on the screen?

Does it alter any video signal leaving the pc or is it more an altering of files?

Will any dvd/bluray media player produce 3d or is it a special media player software that is included?

Is it possible to burn a blu ray backup and play it through an external player such as a PS3, and get the 3d effects?

Will any normal dvd played on the PC be in 3d?

Well, let me try to answer some of these questions if i can. For games, drivers are used to extract the data used to make the game (ie. coffie pot is closer to the wall then the tea cups) and then uses this to generate a 3d image. So the signal will be altered from the orginal design (inorder to create the 3d). Movies must be made or "cooked" in 3d so the signal will allways be 3d and then is decoded by the 3dtv and then displayed for use with your glasses. This is very laman expenation, others could articulate much better.

You will need a Blu ray player to play the new 3d content coming out in 2010. The offical standards have been set so new stuff should be universal now..............lol

I dont know if the ps3 will play burned dvds or blu rays in the first place. The ps3 will right now play 3d if you also have the special tv needed. Avatar the game and another are for sale on selfs right now and work well in 3d.

Right now normal dvds cant be made to "change" to 3d on-the-fly, the 3d has to be cooked into the image. There is software to help convert 2d to 3d but i have not tried it.

Mabey this will help.
I use nvidia 3d vision kit with a sammy 2222rz, I cant go back to 2d, its that good.

So where can I find a list of these "3d cooked" movies?

This could greatly alter my HTPC setup if the movies I can watch in 3d will be very limited.

Is there a source I could look at that talks more about these new 3d standards? Is there going to be a lot more "3d movies" released on media in the coming years?

This is all new to me.

Thank you for your input, I found it helpful

Try a search using S3d movies in this forum. I know there is a few sites that do it. MTBS is a place to go that covers all the types of 3d. You may find another option for 3d as this is Nvidias site for their stuff but there are other companys that deal in 3d. Correct me if im wrong but i dont think Nvidias' version of 3d is the one the new standards are set to. I thought it was realD's version.

There are some links to 3D movies/videos here:

though there is actually very few officially released 3D movies that are not red/blue 3D.
Hopefully they will start to release 3D movies (not red/blue 3D) for some (new?) blueray players.

Since a 3D movie is shot with 2 cameras (videofiles are then usually spliced together side-by-side) You need a display (monitor/TV/dual projector setup) that will allow to alternating show left eye/right eye in sync with some alternating glasses. That way left eye sees what left camera shot and right eye sees what right camera shot. Instead of a fast flickering display and glasses some manufactors use polarized display and polarized glasses to separate left eye and right eye.

Today we are dependent on a 3D driver from Nvidia, iZ3D or DDD to make the 3D display and the 3D glasses show 3D.
I have no idea why 3D movies shown in the cinemas (IMAX/RealD/Dolby3D) are not released to consumers like Nvidia 3D vision users. Seems a waste of good entertainment really. With 2 cameras You can make Your own 3D video/pictures easily, converting a 2D video/picture into 3D is very difficault to make good looking.
