Hi, I would like to view 3d-Video on a PC and have just a couple of questions, maybe you can help me. I just downloaded the depthcharge viewer from vrex.com which seems quite interesting. But there remain still many questions for me: Is there a solution to play the video on a laptop, what kind of graphics card should I use? (I would display the video on a separate CRT Display not on the LCD or TFT Monitor of the laptop) What kind of graphic card should I use anyhow? Does any one have some experience with the VR Visualizer Shutter Glasses from vrex.com? What about flicker? Peter |

This is not an answer for your questions, but maybe Stereoscopic Player would be interesting for you. It supports quad buffered OpenGL and over/under output (for sync-doubling) for shutterglasses viewing, dual screen output and many anaglyph methods. See http://mitglied.lycos.de/stereo3d |

Stereoscopic Player looks interesting, but I need a player to use for video viewing with shutter glasses for true-colour-display on a CRT-Monitor. Stereobright seems also very interesting but unfortunetaly not for my actual needs as Stereobright is for projection. Thanks Peter |

Re Reading your Posting, Peter Wimmer, I have overlooked, that your players offers a possibility for shutter glass viewing. How does it work? Peter |

Method 1 uses quad buffered OpenGL, which is only available on professional graphic cards. However, some NVIDIA cards can be modified to support stereo OpenGL by installing the SoftQuadro driver. But I've never heard that this patch works on mobile graphic chips. Method 2 uses over/under format, e.g. the left image is displayed at top half of the screen, right image at the bottom half of the screen. For this method to work, you need a shutterglasses controller which supports sync-doubling (inserting a vertical sync pulse in the middle of the image). There is another free software, Stereo Movie Maker, http://www3.zero.ad.jp/esuto/, which supports 3D playback by using the NVIDIA comsumer stereo driver. As far as I know, there is a hacked version of this driver that is compatible at least with some of the NVIDIA mobile chipsets. The driver uses pageflipping. You need a shutterglasses controller that can be synced to the VGA signal. |

Peter: The SoftQuadro patch works perfectly on GeForce2 Go (making form it Quadro2 Go) . |
