Stereoscopic 3D playback in VLC

[Fredz]

Stereoscopic 3D playback has been added in VLC as part of the Google Summer of Code project (GSoC 2011). As is said in the Wiki it is currently experimental with a couple of bugs, but the author is still actively working on it. There is a binary available for you to try (released Sept, 5 2011) but 3D support may also be available in more recent nightly builds.

At this time it does support 3D Vision, but the executable (vlc.exe) must be renamed since it's not yet supported by the NVIDIA driver (to wow.exe or googleearth.exe for example). It currently supports side-by-side and above-and-below formats in half or full resolution. AMD HD3D is not yet supported due to a lack of the appropriate equipements, a donation link can be found in the Wiki to help the author support this.

To enable the stereoscopic module you should add the following command line parameters when you start vlc :

--video-filter="stereoscopy" --stereoscopy-left="<left>" --stereoscopy-right="<right>"
