Making 3D Movies

[Carl A 0]

Following the tutorial I click on Video movies; Create DVDs; Opens MyDVD; click on 3D then on DVD or AVCHD; then the drop down says "Anaglyph" and "Half-Width" (not RealD). I can make a red/cyan type 3Dbut not a side by side or any other type of 3D movie.

What am I missing here?

Windows 81. Pro with Media Center; AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.4GHZ quad processor; 16 GB RAM; NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 video card with 2 GB RAM (Driver Ver. 9.18.13.3489 dtd 2/8/2014)

1/2 width IS side by side

 

Or do you mean it does not work?

What I get in half-width is the same as I get with the Anaglyph option. I get red/cyan 3D.

 

The tutorial that Roxio put out for Creating 3D has a picture of the page under paragraph 2 of Creating a 3D DVD in MyDVD that shows a dropdown for output under "DVD" or "AVCHD" with Anaglyph and RealD as options.

 

My output dropdown has options of Anaglyph and Half Width.

 

RealD, as I read it is used by 3D capable TV/Receiver/DVD-Blu-Ray systems and is not the red-cyan 3D my software makes. Maybe the tutorial is wrong or my idea as to what the output should be is wrong.[/size]

Editited to make it readable...

As I recall, RealID was dumped somewhere along the line and the Tutorial was never updated...

 

It was here in my Creator 2011 Version but I do not have any note as to when that format was dropped

The tutorial has not been updated and some things have changed! 3D has been dropped in favor of half width.

 

NXT 2 does not make it easy. I agree that you only have those to choices when you select from that DVD/AVCD dialog box. You can ignore that for now. Just open MyDVD and then go to the file choices

 

Are you starting with a 3D video? If not, you get a drop down to select 2d or 3d and a drop down from 3D that has many choices.

What format is the 3D video - analglyph, RealD, side by side/top bottom, etc.

After that I think it is sort of automatic. There doesn't seem to be a way of confirming what format is being written to the disc.

 

I have not used 3D lately so I haven't gone further than that.
