Is that even possible to make a 2D mkv from a 3D Blu-Ray Disc? It would be neat... I personally would feel no guilt downloading that, as I already bought the flawed Blu-Ray release...

If you have the disk and blu-ray drive it is possible but the file size is 24.2GB

Thats where one compromises and brings the resolution down to 720p and applies some sort of compression.

You can see a 3D movie without 3D player or 3D screen with VLC media player. Just download DVDFab Passkey & VLC media player! (with no disc menus) also it's easy to take screenshots! 8)

While not ideal you can view it in 3D using the Magic eye method.

Sorry guys... I can't help beyond the theory: I don't have the 3d version, nor do I have a blu ray drive

I simply downloaded the 3D version and use VLC to watch it in 2D. I don't know what else to tell you.

You've never heard of Magic eye books?
There these pictures that looked like a scrambled mess, but 3D when viewed correctly. They were very popular in the 90s.

Basically you view a 2D image in 3D yourself manually by combining the two images. You don't go cross eyed (as that would reverse the effect) but its the same idea. You look further into the distance than you normally would, causing your eyes to combine the two pictures to form a single 3D image. There are a lot of methods for beginners, one being to find a reflection on the screen/page and focus on that rather than the picture itself. Another is to find an object across the room and slowly move toward it. Some people say they cant do it, for me it came pretty naturally. I didn't have to spend any time at all training my eyes to do it right, it just happens. I can see any magic eye style 3D picture/video almost instantly.

Hey guys,

I need a little help. I just downloaded the 3-D version of Beauty and the Beast (I have the 2-D blu ray).
First, and I hate to admit it, but the colors look way better on the 3-D (though the yellow's lean a bit toward green-ish)... and I love that it IS the theatrical cut.

Anyway... here is where I need help. Its an mp4 file. Right now, the right and left eye views play side by side, squeezed to fit in the 16x9 frame. Any ideas how I can see one of them at a time, and un-squeezed? Or if there is a way I can see it in 3-D with the red/green glasses?

I'm playing it with VLC right now...

HELP!

I feel like I should just make this a sticky.

Using VLC, you'll first want to make a custom aspect ratio of 32:9. This setting will correct the aspect ratio. Next, head up to the top menu bar and click "Window" and then down to "Video Filters..." This should get you a pop-up window titled "Video Effects". Click on the "Crop" tab within that window and you should get something that looks like this:


.........................Top [_____0 px]

Left [_____0 px]...........................Right [_____0 px]

.....................Bottom [_____0 px]

All the values are defaulted to 0. Type 960 in either the Left or the Right side, doesn't matter. This should cut the image in half.

Note: I'm on Mac, so the layout may be a little different for Windows but rest assured all these setting will still work.

Thanks for the tips... But my VLC doesnt have custom aspect ratio. I guess I will have to import the film into aftereffects and re render it all.

I assume the left side is the original eye?

And I might even try to replace the "the 3d edition" with "silver screen partners II" at the beginning... to get as close to theatrical as possibly :)

Oops/// when I reopened VLC I had managed to create the 32:9 ratio! Awesome/

I might still re-render the whole film... so I can play it on other programs...

were you able to re-render the whole film that way?
Can you tell me how so I can do that myself?

Thank you

Technically When you turn a 3D movie into 2D it is not full HD anymore right would it even be 720p?

I may be wrong, but I think its still full HD. You would just get one eye, instead of both to create the 3D effect.
