Re: Standardizing on standards, LR format

Tim,

Thank you so much for this post! It really helps to have a good idea of what is going on behind the scenes. I had no idea that there were so many groups involved. I've heard of all the groups, but did not know how their work interleaves.

So, for what it is worth, here's my packaging plan for the time being:

* Sony EX3 Rig
** record 1080p per camera (24 fps the current favorite)
** edit and output two complete WMV files
** Use Peter Wimmer's wmvmux.exe utility to layer the videos into a dual layer .wmv file
*** Left first, right second

* Fujifilm FinePix 3D W1 camera (video mode)
** record 640x480 30p per eye
** automatically saved as a layered AVI file
*** I've not tried editing the resulting video file yet, have to do that soon.

Results:
* plays left eye in mono video applications at full resolution
* plays stereo in stereo video apps at full resolution per eye
** The display may downsample this; 3D-DLP, Xpol

Again, thanks for the insight Tim.
