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

[frencher]

"MVC Player Free v0.0.1.3" In my signature...

Extract and run directly MVC Player Free.exe or play associated file with MVC Player Free.exe

# Added: eac3to demux with chapters (selctable .m2ts, .ssif and others media files)
# Added: Auto Play On/Off (Playback)
# Fixed: MediaInfo (BD path and files)
# Some fixes

[frencher]

I made a small package because CombineMVC is not CLI at the moment but it could work here must be missing a little something ...
The work is sent with eac3to L.h264 and R.h264 to CombineMVC.exe with pipe.
Package is: HERE

Is there any tutorial for 3dbd's free?
I can get it finding some 3d files on my BD, but then... what?
Is it supposed to work properly in WindowsXP SP3? GUI looks weird, like missing something.
I click on GO button after selecting a 3d file, but nothing appears happening, nothing appears in output folder.

Kill process "3DBD's Free Plugin.exe" there may be a memory leak...
For better works use "MVC Player Free"

Can you please be more specific?
I still don't get how to use 3dbd, how it works, what it is expected to do, how I can view the resulting (if any) 3d video.

"3DBD's Free" in this release serves only one demux bluray but in standby because of memory leak.
"MVC Player Free" takes over and allows direct reading and re-encoding on the fly Bluray unencrypted but also demux and remux almost any type of video but also the Bluray and Bluray 3D with the various tools provided.

[jumpjack]

So how can I use 3dBd and/or MVC Player Free to watch my MIB-III 3d-bd on my PC?

[r0lZ]

Yes, I find it difficult to understand too.
Frencher, si tu veux, écrit une petite doc en français, et je la traduirai...

[frencher]

Tutorial for MVC Player Free is now ready: HERE
Merci pour ta proposition r0lZ corrige moi si j'ai fait des erreurs de traduction...
Une idée pour combiner avec eac3to et les pipes ?

I get this error:
Evaluate: System Exception - Access Violation on line 6

First lines of file:
LoadPlugin ("E:\documenti\Downloads\MVC Player Free v0.0.1.3\MVCtoAVI.exe\DirectShowMVCSource.dll")
LoadPlugin ("E:\documenti\Downloads\MVC Player Free v0.0.1.3\MVCtoAVI.exe\DirectShowSource.dll")

(which one is considered 6th one?)

Tested on MenInBlack-III.
This error appears when operating on BD.
Operating on folder structure created on hard disk by MakeMKV results in nothing happening upon pressing PLAY button.

"DirectShowMVCSource.dll" not works with MakeMKV File
Have you tried this ?

yes, but no luck.

Could the "access violation" be related to being reading directly from BD? Maybe the program attempts writing something to the folder where it reads data from, which is of course readonly.

If your disc is an original, it is probably encrypted. You have to decrypt it on HDD first, or use AnyDVD HD to decrypt it on the fly.

From my original MIB III in 3D with AnyDVD HD

BD3D2MK3D is great, but I have some problems with it.

1: Seems like eac3to is reporting an incorrect number of frames (very low - usually around 5000 frames, but a seemingly random number). This happens with all 3D blurays. Problem is the same when I try to manually extract the audio, where I only get 5-10 minutes.

2: SSIFSource2 fails to encode with x264 properly, when --preset slow is used. It gives a lot of "duplicate frame added"-errors, and the right-eye output stutters a lot.

I'm running it on XP x86 SP3. All encodes made as HOU (didn't try any other). I can't be the only one with these problems?

r0lZ: Would be nice if you could choose which method (at least SSIF or DirectShowMVCSource) should be enabled, in the GUI

Besides any possible failures, are there any reason to choose one method over another in terms of quality?

Very strange problem. I have never seen that. Usually, the number of frames reported by eac3to is off by 1, but is it almost correct. I can only suggest to try to update eac3to, and verify with the command line or one of its GUIs if it fails again, or if it's a bug in BD3D2MK3D.

Again something new for me. I have already noticed once a missing or duplicated frame in one of the views (causing a slight left/right desync), but I have never notices numerous additional frames. Anyway, I doubt --preset slow could be the cause, as x264 should encode what it receives, regardless of the preset.

Menu Settings -> Use ssifsource2 for SBS/T&B

Normally no. Both should produce correctly decoded frames. The main limitation with ssifsource2 is that it can encode only in SBS or Top/Bottom, but it seems to crash less with MPLS containing many SSIF parts, and it's why BD3D2MK3D offers to use it anyway for SBS or T&B if it's the case.

I'm already on 3.27 and as I mentioned, I have the same problem when I extract the audio, so I can say for sure that it's not a problem with BD3D2MK3D. I just posted in this thread, as it seems to be a problem with 3D disks only.

I would think that too, but it's quite obvious. The first pass is fine, and when it goes on to pass 2 it triggers throughout. When you think about it, it makes sense - preset slow uses more reference frames, so it has to look way beyond what it usually does, and maybe SSIFSource can't handle that properly. Could be related to the same problem, that you can't search with the plugin.

Would be great if you could test it. I may also try to do another install with Windows 7 to see if that makes a difference.
