Stereoscopic 3D Player (MKV)

[va4leo]

Was wondering if anyone knew of a 3D Video player (besides nVidia's) that was preferably free, otherwise, could pay a little.

I basically have a Left and Right File in MKV and wanted to play them.


Cheers!

I assume you mean you have separate MKV files. One left.mkv and one right.mkv? You want them to play side by side?

Yes. I have one left. One right. And i want to play them not side by side...but in alternating frames.

Alternating frame? You cross your eyes to get the full image. I thought you meant side by side for stereoscopic images! What you want to do is not stereoscopic 3d, it is a different type, the name slips my mind.

I want something similar to nVidia 3D Vision player that will handle MKV. =D

Do you have the alternate-frame sequencing glasses?

Do you have the alternate-frame sequencing glasses?

Yes. And the relavent monitor, and IR transmitter, etc etc


Also, i do believe this is stereoscopy as i want to perceive depth. I want to see solids. Correct me if I am wrong, but that is what stereoscopy is.

Now I may be an ordinary hyper-chicken from a backwoods asteroid, but I disagree with you.

On wikipedia, which is always correct like Glenn Beck, they talk about LCD shutter glasses which is an active type technique of stereoscopic imaging. I do believe this is what the good Mr. va4leo is referring.

Why thank you! And yes, that is indeed what i am referring to. =D

I need a player that will take 2 MKV files and output one file every odd frame and a second file every even frame! =D

Quite right.

Well after a quick google I think it may be a multi stage process. You may need to remux the MKVs to a more compatible format like ts. Then you may need to run them through a 3D muxer/encoder. Then you can play them in Nvidia 3D Vision Player or perhaps Cyberlink PowerDVD (which apparently supports 3D).

If you have a 3D capable monitor and the LCD shutter glasses, the player should be all you need. If you don't, try re-encoding to red/green glasses mode using SMM.

I'm not sure if there's a way to play it on a regular LCD. I do recall there were some video cards sold with the 3D shutter LCD glasses so it might work if you have those.

Hope that helps.

I am at present converting the two files to WMV. nVidia handles them ok. Will let you know what happens next =D

EDIT:

Solution found (yes its only 3 months later... xD ). K-Lite Codex Pack and then nVidia 3D video player works like a charm.

FINAL ANSWER! (I just joined to share this!) Even though it is 3 years late; this final solution should be here! I felt bad knowing you were converting every MKV file to WMV (and losing all that great 5.1AVC audio, and time...) I found a perfect solution:
To Play MKV in the Free NVIDIA 3D Vision Player:

1) Install K-Lite Codec pack (I choose ffdshow for about everything...) but simple install should do the trick.

2) Then go into File/Settings/Decoder of the free 3D Vision player, find 'Matroska Stream Splitter' in the list, select it and click the ADD button,

3) In the list find the 'MainConcept (Consumer) AVC/H.264 Video Decoder' select it and click ok. (even if that exact Decoder is unavailable try FLV etc. You just need an HD Decoder!)

4) One Very Important Trick is: in File/Open, click the drop down list to show 'ALL FILES(*.*)' so the .MKV files will show up. PLAY and ENJOY!!!

Solution is to install K-Lite codec pack and use 3D Vision player to play the files! You must select a proper splitter for Matroska.
