Hi Guys. I've just written a Guide to play SBS 3D video in 3D mode on a 3D TV with external player that I hope some of you may find of use.

Quote:On a not unrelated topic, is there currently any way to playback 3d bluray isos (not SBS but full rips) on Linux? I'd love to do it with XBMC actually, but I know that may be asking too much.
I've got a GT430 if that helps.
Please say I don't have to go over to the dark side (Windows)!
poofyhairguy Wrote:Ok, I can confirm what I feared: Nvidia post-processing nearly destroys the 3D effect with half-SBS files. My system now has the power to completely decode Half SBS with the CPU, and in doing so both me and my wife agree that 3D quality is improved.
This means that anyone who wants to play 3D files needs to either look to another dedicated or software player, or use a system with enough CPU power to decode 1080p. Current systems that can do that are Mac Minis and Asrock Vision 3Ds...

MacLeod_1980 Wrote:Why do I not believe this, you mean my GT430 is not appropriate for decoding half-SBS? Why would it be sold as a 3D caapable card, and therefore what are you suggesting is the best way to process - not VDPAU but processor? Kinda defeats the point in 3D hardware..
Can you please explain further. Thanks

what do you mean with: Nvidia post-processing nearly destroys the 3D effect with half-SBS files ?
I have also some SBS files and trailers and I have a real good 3D effect with VDPAU on.
I use a Geforce 9500GT card connected to a Sony KDL-HX805.
