I describe how to encode a stereoscopic wmv video but not all is well

[Jeremy Duncan]

a.) First you need a stereoscopic picture that shows the left and right frame.
You copy the picture and paste it in ms paint and divide it, saving the left picture in it's own picture same for right picture.
save it as 24 bit bmp.

a.1) Then you need to resize the image to 1080p resolution.

a.2.) Crop the picture in paint so it's 16:9 aspect ratio, my picture is 800x450.

a.3.) Then make a avs script including the bmp picture in the script, and open the avs script with virtualdub.

ImageSource("C:\Users\Jeremy\Desktop\right.bmp")
spline64resize(1920, 1080)
converttoyv12()

a.4.) Once the picture opens with virtualdub you open the video tab and copy to clipboard the output frame.
Paste the picture in ms paint at 1080p resolution and save the left picture and right picture.
Close virtualdub, you don't need to encode you just needed to copy the frame to clipboard.

b.) Then you need to make copies of the left and right frame.
How I do this is I make a left folder and copy and paste the left picture in the 24 times, then I do this for the right piture too making a right folder.
I number each file from 1 to 24, so the first file is called 1, then the second file is called 2, etc.

b.1.) Then I make the 24 frames in each folder a avi using "bmptoavi" tool.
I open the program (bmpseq.jar) and for the "action, start" button I choose file number 1.
For the end I choose file number 24.
Frame rate I set it to 2.
Save, I save it to desktop and call it Left_24.avi
Then I press run and it makes the avi file for me.

Then I do this for the right file too.

b.2.) Then I open left_24.avi in virtualdub and set the framerate to 23.976, direct stream copy, and save it to desktop as L_24.avi.
Then I do this for the right file as well.

c.) Now I open windows media encoder; And this part it's making the file so it's not green when media player classic opens the file, so I need somebody to say how to get a file that's not green half way through.

c.1) I open windows media encoder and choose custom session.

c.2) On the source tab I set it to File then browse and choose L.24.avi.

c.3) On the compression tab I choose Edit and Import then load the "1080p-24 for Dual Stream 3D.prx" profile, I have no audio so I uncheck Audio tab.

c.4) From the Tools, Options, Performance, tab I set the slide bar too "better quality".

c.5) On the Output tab I uncheck "Pull from Encoder", and check "Encode to file" and "Index file" then from the browse button I choose when to save the file

I then click Apply and click Start Encoding.

d.) Now you mux the two files you made: left and right, into one file using a tool called "WmvMux.exe".
Put the left and right files you made with windows media encoder on your desktop and WmvMux.exe on your desktop and using cmd prompt go to your desktop like so, press enter after using this code to go to your desktop:
cd C:\Users\Jeremy\Desktop

Now still in cmd prompt use this code to mux the video into one file:
WmvMux -i1 "L.wmv" -i2 "R.wmv" -o "LR.wmv

And it will save your new file to your desktop in stereoscopic single file/dual stream format.

encoding kit with sample left right pictures and some sw (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJHMD81G)

I'm posting this so somebody can post how to get rid of the green in the wmv encode. I'm opening it with mpc and ffdshow. :script:

First off, try Expression Encoder 3, which has formal support for AVISynth.

I think I'll let this project go to somebody else as I have the green video problem as described in the first post. :thanks:

@Jeremy Duncan i don't have any (green) problem with your method...here is the result:
