I have seen some 3D movies on ebay. They are from Australia. The guy who sells them says they are Living 3D. What is Living 3D? Some of the films I didn't think were made in 3D. Are these fakes? Can someone please let me know before I waste any money. Thanks Paul3DD3 | ||

Don't spend a dime. This is fake bootleg garbage. He converts 2-D titles using "real 3-D" technology that simply does not work. If you try to let him know how bad his products are, he uses his ebay feedback as a cushion... even though he's changed his screen name countless number of times due to complaints. He doesn't even realize that a number of titles he offers as "VHD quality" were never even released on VHD. Truly a hack and a poor contributer to the 3-D community. I'd like to mention though that he is a regular on this site but I'll refrain from posting the screen name. | ||

Thanks for that, I'll keep my money in my wallet then! Hasn't this guy been reported to e-bay? Don't they have policies like no pirate copies and not allowing banned members to re-register? It really annoys me that people can get away with ripping people off like that. I'm glad I came to this site before wasting my money, but there are others who will buy in good will and will waste money on crap - he should be stopped! | ||

Does anyone know of a good contact for good quality version of movies such as house of wax, jaws 3, etc. I also came across this fellow from the land down under and almost purchased from him. Glad I have not. Also is it possible to get good copy of dial M for murder or kiss me kate by any chance? Many thanks. Dave. | ||

Wrong... piracy in any shape or form is illegal and is not only limited to the US. Ebay will be notified of this eventually removing this individual from Ebay automatically notifying production companies to decide weather or not they want to prosecute this person -wink-. Many companies that wish to prosecute will not allow excuses such as "I didn't know it was an illegal copy" or "this is out of print so I thought it was OK" to be used. To make matters worse, selling movies that are converted to "living 3-D" (which is a very misleading and extremely uncreative name) fools those who are not familiar with 3-D viewing that this is "as good as it gets" as the seller ignorantly states in his auction descriptions (in which he loves to butcher the English language). I fell into the same trap by buying Amityville 3-D from him. Dumb move on my part I guess. It even said "stereoscopic" in the auction description. Of course he's going to get good feedback as the customers have not seen the real thing and it seems that simply a smile can get you good feedback on Ebay as of late. However it's a relief to see those that can tell the difference speak their minds but equally discouraging to see his ignornace come to play by acting dumb and shrugging off negative comments simply by stating that "Other people liked it. Sorry you didn't". It's also interesting to see that those in the professional 3-D media have taken notice as well. Even Dan Symmes website targets this person as a phony and warns the public about purchasing any of his products. Each day this person gets closer to getting himself into a lot of trouble. Legalities aside, I feel the most disturbing thing about this seller is that he (or she) has absolutely NO CLUE about what they are selling and deliberately lies in his auction descriptions about his products. There was no VHD Japan club where thes came from but rather offered to the Japanese public in the mid-80s, half of the titles he lists were not available in VHD but found their way to the market most probably from Michael Starks' 3DTV corp, and finally "Living 3-D" is flat out garbage that DOES NOT WORK like he describes. Objects do not float in and out of the screen like stereoscopic formats do (he also uses that word very loosley). I could go on and on about this person but hopefully those that read this get the point. I'd just like to prevent anyone falling into the same trap I did by purchasing products or supporting this individual in any shape or form. Sorry for the rant. Enjoy your day. | ||

I think what is happening on ebay is that the studios/distributors are aware that these titles are being sold on ebay (the actual 3D movies and not the crap that the Aussie bloke is trying to fob off as 3D), however, as these titles are not commercially available as 3D, they don't see it as a direct threat and are turning a blind eye. You can bet your bottom dollar, though, that if this anticipated 3D craze results is these films being released by the studios in hqfs or sensio or whatever (and my fingers are firmly crossed that they do), these pirates will disappear. So far as this Australian Pirate is concerned - you can only get away with ripping people off for so long. I understand that one victim of his scam has bitten back and is doing his/her best to get him kicked off ebay and prosecuted. | ||

Biggums, if 3dman is who I think he is, I'm onto this guy like a ton of bricks, he won't be "getting away" with anything much longer. I've been in touch with anti-piracy agencies both here and in Oz, Universal Studios, Warner Bros, ebay, distributors and, in one case, directly with the owner/director of one of the movies he was selling copies of. Warning shots have been fired but, thus far, he's ignored them. I don't think he has any idea how deep in trouble he truly is! I hope he's saved all his ill-gotten funds, he's going to need all he can get when the law suits start arriving on his doorstep! I've had my eye on this guy for quite some time. He is known to a lot of people and has ripped off countless. I'm amazed that, even though there are messages all over the place warning not to buy from this guy, very few have actually done anything about it - until now. | ||

My apologies, 3dman was one of the many usernames that the Australian guy was using. I know that he frequents this site and I guessed that he was using the same username. I am currently speaking with his service providers in Oz and hopefully, soon, they will be pulling the plug on his website and also on the e-mail address that he has been using to solicit former customers. | ||

JonathanE: Clicking on 3Dman's name gives no e-mail information in some posts but other cases display different e-mails that originate in AU. Simply do a keyword search. Coincidence? Plus his grammar is broken and sloppy in all his posts. It's most probably him. I'm wondering how many other names he posts under... I'm sure he's also "DCS#1 in 3d". Why would someone write their first post in this subject instead of posting a new topic? Not too crafty is he? | ||

I, personally, have nothing against this Aussie guy. I have bought a couple of disks from him in the past, and I made sure that they were actual 3D and not Living 3D. With one of the disks I bought he sent me a copy of a film in Living 3D and I thought it was rubbish, so didn't buy any Living 3D. To his credit, it would appear that he has ceased selling Living 3D (at least on ebay). What amazes me is that, even though it is clear that someone is hot on his trail (I got an e-mail from him a week or so ago saying "We have a nasty one here", I wonder if he was referring to Jonathan E ;-) and he is being reported to anti-pirating agencies, studios, directors & distributors, he is STILL LISTING on ebay. The guy is either fearless or an idiot - I have heard of fines not only in the tens, but in the hundreds of thousands of dollars - I'll bet he hasn't sold enough copies on ebay to stand a fine like that! Did you get ripped off by this guy JonathanE, sounds like you're really pissed with him? | ||

You guys should really chill out. Aren't you aware that ALL (as in 100%) of the field-sequential 3-D DVDs of old theatrical movies being sold on eBay (and anywhere else you may find them) are PIRATED! EVERY ONE OF THEM! (The only exception are the commercial DVDs of the newer IMAX movies and "The Creeps") The major studios like Warner Brothers and Paramount have obviously known this for a long time, and have been turning a blind eye to it because they never intend to release field-sequential versions of their old movies, so the pirated versions aren't competing for their legitimate products. But if some crusader starts rubbing this in their faces, then eBay (or the studios) might feel obliged to take action. Then EVERY copy of "House of Wax," "Jaws 3D," etc. will disappear from eBay auctions, and NOBODY will be able to get a copy of these old 3-D classics for his private collection. Is this what you really want to accomplish? | ||

There are 2 issues here, firstly, the duplicated copies of VHD disks and other GENUINE 3D prints. I have less of an issue with these. After all, our collections would be significantly dwindled if people weren't out there doing copies. On the other hand, though, the guy in Australia is mass-marketing these and has taken in excess of $500 in the past 2 weeks. This is wrong and he is running the risk of prosecution - if he gets prosecuted then it is his own fault. Then there's this whole "Living 3D" thing. This is where I would be in the queue to persecute this guy. These are deceptive and fraudulent. This, to me, is where he really crosses the line - they are NOT 3D, or anything like! If I had purchased a "Living 3D" title off this guy, I would also be reporting him. Like I said above, at least it looks as though he has stopped selling "Living 3D" on ebay. As for Charles' comments, I can appreciate where you are coming from, but it is people like this guy (who are mass marketing these titles) that are more likely to fuel their demise. It is the Australian guy who is "rubbing their faces in it", not the people who have been ripped off. Oh, and by the way, I have a 3D VHD player with a few 3D VHD disks - they are genuine and not copies, so I do have legitimate copies, so they are not "ALL PIRATES" | ||
| Charles Rating: N/A |
Chris, let me comment on your issues: Of course it isn't illegal to own original VHD discs, and it doesn't become a crime if you dub the VHD movies onto your hard drive or onto a few DVD-Rs for your personal use. But if any of those DVD-R copies are sold (or even given away), they become "pirated" copies. Over the years, dozens of people have sold such copies on eBay; the Aussie is simply the most successful in this illegal transaction. "Living 3D" is terrible-looking junk, and I'm NOT defending the misleading claims about its quality, but the Australian's website (and his "Living 3D" eBay auctions that I can remember) clearly state that the term refers to "fake 3D," so the ads aren't fraudulent. You simply have to read the entire ad to be certain of what you're getting. In any case, how can a buyer complain to either eBay or the Hollywood studios that he got ripped off while knowingly purchasing an illegal product? If the studios respond to such a complaint, it isn't realistic to think that they'll order eBay to remove pirated copies of their movies only when a specific seller is involved. All such sales will be shut down, period. | ||
| ChrisC007 Rating: N/A |
Charles, he has only VERY RECENTLY referred to his "Living 3D" as "Fake 3D". A few months ago the word fake was nowhere to be seen in his listings. Also, he purposely duplicated films, that were originally shot in 3D, using his "Living 3D" to deceive people into thinking that they were genuine. I never bought any of these Living 3D titles. However, there are hundreds out there who have bought them, believing them to be genuine - read biggums earlier post, he was conned into thinking that a copy of Amytiville 3-D was genuine. All those people who bought his Living 3D titles have been conned, plain and simple. | ||

LOL I get the impression there are many pathetic scammers and frauds going on in the stereoscopic business. I also see a lot of attempts to affect stock values by posting falsities right in this forum. It is a bizarre community unlike anything else I've seen. I don't know if this is the case already, but I'd advise the admins to be able to see the IP of people. The ability to fakenick and the like can be disabled smoothly if IPs are available to the admins. Even more so if we are required to register (which we aren't). And more admins would be subsequently be required. | ||

Hi all, I have just recently purchased Jaws 3d from this guy in Australia and it is a genuine left and right field shutterglass version. I am more than satisfied with this, although i totaly understand the problems with copied works. But, as stated before, where the hell else are 3d enthusiests going to get these films from? The studios? i think not. As far as im concerned the studios couldnt give a toss about the general consumer,this is obvious. I paid my hard earned cash many times over to see these realeses at the cinema, and i should have every right to be able to purchase these films from them as do 98% of other film goers that can purchase every other title available to them!! Not to mention the repeated rip off releases of major films that come out as limited editions, special editions, directors cuts and more! It is about time these greedy little sods released something that I want to buy to satisfy my hobby. Until such time that they do, i will continue to collect these BOOTLEGS as it it the ONLY WAY POSSIBLE at this point in time. PS i am in no way affiliated with this person in Australia at all...just a satisfied customer. | ||

I am not defending the Superliving stuff either, but the guy in Australia DOES have some genuine 3D titles as well--you just have to know what to look for in his listings (I got burned on Money From Home and Kiss Me Kate). Also, some of his true 3D titles are very good quality...Parasite, for instance....and all the reporting, etc., hasn't seemed to make much difference--he's still selling, and it's 2007. And every now and then I read some of his feedbacks and lots of people leave positive feedback saying how great the 3D is--they just don't know any better.

No, regular field-sequential 3D glasses will not work with the Samsung 3D HDTVs. The Samsung 3D HDTV operates at 120Hz - regular field-sequential works at 60Hz. The Samsung provides a VESA 3pin (mini-DIN) connector for connecting LCS 3D glasses. If you have a pair of LCS 3D glasses which supports this connector, it may well work with the Samsung.

my understanding is that the remote for the TV will interfere with the old-school wireless glasses (and visa versa)...the 3D DLP TVs require a special emitter that is somehow different than the other wireless glasses. And you also need a computer and software to convert the field-sequential/interlaced signal into one that works on a progressive scan television, which the Samsung is... | ||

Regarding wireless glasses and remote interference: I have a Samsung 61" 3D DLP HDTV here in my office and am using the old-style H3D IR wireless glasses with it without any major sign of interference. The glasses sometimes flicker a bit when using the remote, but it's not a show stopper. | ||
