As you might know NTSC movies often do not play on televisions in Europe. So i wonder if its possible to convert NTSC 3d movies to PAL. Is there an easy way to do this? | ||

The result will be always very pure. Play on computer, not on TV. | ||

I can only think of one reason why you would want to do that, and that is if you had a scan rate doubler for a PAL 50 TV to eliminate flicker. Since I don't even know if one exists, that might be a shot in the dark :-) As far as the conversion goes, whatever you do, do _not_ use existing methods of converting 2D NTSC to PAL, since that will stagger the fields into a garbled mess. It could be done, however, by deinterlacing the 3D NTSC video, then applying _identical_ conversion techniques to each eye's view, then reinterlacing the outcome. I won't go into details, here, but just look up "NTSC to PAL conversion" on Google to find existing methods, then remember that you have to somehow apply those techniques to _both_ eye's view, identically. Since I don't have any professional motion interpolation equipment, I would use Adobe After Effects and use motion detection and frame blending to blend every 4th and 5th frame of each eye's view (or something like that :-), but you could probably come up with a freeware solution with AviSynth and a fancy deinterlacing plugin or two :-) Good luck...
