Stereoscopic Player 1.3 is now available. Go to http://www.3dtv.at/Downloads to install it. It is a recommended upgrade, especially if you use Windows Vista. As usual, registered users can upgrade for free, all old product keys will also unlock this version. Click here to see the list of changes: http://www.3dtv.at/Products/Player/History_en.aspx | ||

I'm using "selfmade" stereoscopic system in configuration: 3 PJ BenQ 721c, computer with 3-"head" videocard Matrox Parhelia (HW QuadBuffered OpenGL stereo). The "stereomovies" are "selfmade" too. As SW stereoplayer i tryed to use Parallax Player, StereoMovie Player and Stereoscopic Player. No one don't plays stereovideo in resolution 3072x768. Max resolution is 2000x500 (Parallax Player - 2400x600), but only 5-10 fps. Stereoscopic Player 1.3 don't works in QuadBuffered OpenGL stereo AT ALL (in fullscreen mode). SP 1.2 works normally, but too slo-o-o-o-o-w (movie 2000x500 15 fps plays only 5-8 fps). SP 0.9.9 plays stereomovies faster, but only 10 fps. All versions of SP are unregistered. If have registered version of Stereoscopic Player similare trouble? | ||

The unregistered and registered versions of the Stereoscopic Player do not differ (except for the 5 minutes playback limit). There have been no changes to the quad-buffered OpenGL mode in version 1.3. It should work as in older versions. But I'll check it again (I don't have a Matrox card, however). Do your files play at full fps in Windows Media Player? There could be several reasons for low performance: (1) hard disk too slow (especially when playing uncompressed files) (2) cpu too slow (check if the cpu load is near 100% in the Task Manager (3) quad-buffered OpenGL driver is too slow (this is e.g. true for my ATI FireGL card where the OpenGL driver is always the bottleneck). | ||

On computer PIV/3.2GHz (CPU load near 75%) StereoscopicPlayer (v0.9.9) starts to play stereomovie (2000x500, 15fps, side-by-side or two stream, codec Intel Indeo 4.5, bitrate about 3-5 MBytes/sec) with normal speed,then speed is decreasing to 9-10 fps. On more power computer (processor Q6600 is loaded near 30%, speed of read from 4 HDD in RAID 0 is about 20 MBytes/sec) situation is likely. Videocard Matrox Parhelia has enough fast hardware QuadBuffered OpenGL stereo. Windows Media Player plays files in full fps. I think Stereoscopic Player doesn't work properly in QuadBuffered mode on videocard Matrox Parhelia - his QuadBuffered stereomode uses different algorithmes than videocards nVivia Quadro. | ||

I'll see if I can do anything to improve quad-buffered OpenGL. By the way, there is a hidden feature in SP to show the quality statistics: Press Ctrl+Alt+Q. It displays the expected and actual frame rate and some other information. | ||

On videocard Quadro FX 3500 with Matrox Triple Head2Go Stereoscopic Player 1.2 works very good (full fps, "brilliant" QuadBuffered stereo etc.), but resolution greater 2048x2048 (in stereo) don't support  . If can you Peter to increase supported resolution for 3072x3072 (or 4096x4096)?FREE YOUR MIND!!! |
