Guide to convert BD 3D to 3D Left+Right Stereoscopic and Anaglyph

[Limobar]

Does anybody here have successfully used frame sequential encoding? It's the most efficient way to encode 3D.

I've tried it several times with different versions of the H264StereoSource.dll decoder and several different sources. The result appears to be like it should, but around 53 minutes in the encode the video suddenly starts to jump. A fellow encoder confirmed my results and only uses it for encodes shorter than 53 minutes.

I tried a workaround, by cutting the encode in half, but that doesn't work either, because "right.h264" doesn't have some sort of time stamps, so I cannot use the 'trim' command in Avisynth. I also cannot remux "right.h264" to a format that gives it time stamps.

What are your experiences with frame sequential encoding?

Didn't try it myself, but from encoders reports it results the same behavior as yours.

Lately i haven't been able to work with H264StereoSource.dll. Aviscript doesn't work.
Is this my system's issue or one of those MS's jokes?
Any feedback will be appreciated.

I got it; i'm living issues with "Tron Legacy 3D".
Something does not allow me to decode right eye with H264StereoSource.dll.
Anybody else?

Try SSIFsucka! if you can't manage to make it work through avisynth. The software is based on h264stereosource.dll too. Try and get Beta3. RC2 has a few annoying bugs that beta3 doesn't.

In this case, i think 3DBD.net Beta is much better than SSIFSucka. But i am still wondeirng why i can not get it with avisynth?

Maybe you don't have the correct avisynth or maybe the paths are wrong. I never had this problem. Maybe a re-install of avisynth will do it.

OK, i reorganised my PC and it works. Thanks.

Lately i've been awared i don't need to re-encode left.h264 for making SBS 3Ds.
I use Stereoscopic Player to play SBS 3D files and SP can play avs files.

So here is the way i follow:

1) Extracting left.h264, right.h264 and audio via eac3to.
2) Remuxing left.h264 and audio into an m2ts or mkv container via TSMuxer or MKVMergeGui without re-encoding.
3) Re-encoding right.h264 to right.264 and remuxing it to m2ts or mkv container.
For this i used a similar avs:

LoadPlugin("H264StereoSource.dll")
H264StereoSource("decoder.cfg",180027)

[4) Here is the aviscrypt to play with SP:

vidL=DirectshowSource("C:\3D-ex\left.m2ts",audio=true)
vidR=DirectshowSource("C:\3D-ex\right.m2ts",audio=false)
StackHorizontal(vidL, vidR)

On page 1 of this thread it is said that you can now select from multiavchd more 3D modes.
Where can I find this option??

Here you are:

Hi all,

H264StereoSource.dll Don't decode all right stream..

Left & Right = 466 frames

Code error at 444 frames / 466:

PicParset 1 references an invalid (uninitialized) Sequence Parameter Set with ID 1, expect the unexpected...
An unintentional loss of pictures occurs! Exit
A gap in frame number is found, try to fill it.

Where find H264StereoSource.dll to work ?
Where find the latest update compiled of H264StereoSource.dll + source code ?

[crl2007]

That's normal. There's no bug, that's just the way it is. I trim the last 50 frames in my avisynth scripts and that error does not come up anymore. You'll lose 2-3 seconds from the end.

Hi clr2007,

ldecod.exe work to 466 frames without problem

ldecod.exe = (H264StereoSource.dll Avisynth)

[crl2007]

It doesn't output that error, but if you check, you'll see that you are missing 2-3 seconds from the end. ldecod already trims 50-60 frames from the end.

Read your message

[crl2007]

I took your sample. As I said, ldecod is using H264StereoSource tweaked. Every software that you use is doing the same thing, trimming 2-3 seconds at the end. There is no other H264StereoSource.dll available. Maybe in the future, when it will be possible to edit 3D BD, we will have a faster and better decoder.

[frencher]

It already exists (stereoscopic player) with CoreAVCDecoder.dll but is not free right what I find a shame.
The only one who convinced me as in my example is that on my config ldecod.exe gives me almost more than 0.5 fps (H264StereoSource.dll with avisynth) and completes the conversion of all my MVC tracks with an average of 4,5 fps with a Q9550 @ 3,4 Ghz & x264_x64.exe and Windows 7.
Strongly an MVC plugin free and fast

How did make ldecod.exe to parse two input streams (left.h264 & right.h264)? How did you combine them?

Thank you in advance.
