3D Full SBS (3840x1080)... Success!

For anyone interested in XBMC and 3D (MKV's), i've come across something very interesting.

I've got 2 3D blu-ray's (respect... huge 3D collection!! ). One of those is Avatar. I've run it through DVDFab and outputted as a Full SBS MKV (3840x1080). Upon playback in xbmc (Windows nightly build... 30/10/2011... using DXVA2) i came across the usual problems of dropped frames, slight skipping, etc. So i was planning on using MPC-HC as an external player for this video type.

There where certain playback characteristics of the file that DVDFab had created that i didn't like (funky searching/chapter skipping behaviour for one), so playing around i ran the file again through Ripbot (using a custom avisynth profile... my usual means of backing up / converting my media by the way). The result was a file with much improved playback quality/performance.

Sod it i thought, lets see how it plays in XBMC. To my amazement, it plays flawlessly...

I know you can't see playback performance, but you see the stats and resolution.

I'll try and upload a small sample for others to test.

Thoughts anyone...?

My thinking is that most people have probably tested DVDFab created full sbs files, due to DVDFab being one few programs out there to create 3d backups, plus it being the most commercial. Maybe just a poor encode profile from DVDFab?

Anyway, i'm gonna test my other 3D blu-ray (Tron: Legacy) to confirm.

Cheers

nice work liquid let us know how tron goes

Good work liquidskin76. Have you reported this issue to DVDFab?

Ignore this one, i can't replicate it. I've created Avatar again the same fashion, plus Tron, however both show same old problems. Wierd that the first test worked ok! (unless my eyes were deceiving me!)

Oh, well... so it's full SBS in MPC-HC or half SBS in XBMC!

...or full SBS in XBMC/DSPlayer.

I had slow performance on internal player (pre eden), and the subtitle can not be divide into 2 side. do you know how to config subtitle sbs ?

Are those blu-ray cases/posters a feature of the skin that you are using or have you manually downloaded them?

Which skin are you using?

What skin is that that shows 3D cases? i have been looking for a way to differentiate those in my collection.

it looks like aeon nox, it certainly includes that view though not personally sure what naming convention for 3D cases to display, I'd imagine "moviename.3d.mkv"
