(Like anaglyph glass, micro-pol monitor, LCD shutter glass, pageflipping HMD.)
But it takes many steps, very troublesome.
Here's an explanation.

Yes, very cool. Is there a way to create a macro that can be used to configure the settings, or a template?

I make a test program that supports YouTube3D movie watching.
This program could reduces steps compared with the method that I introduced in above post.

Download from here:
test.zip

This program was build with Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition. So Microsoft .NET Frmework would require.
There is no warranty for the program or parts of it, you use it at your own risk!


This test program requires next two programs. Install these first.
UScreenCapture
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/UScreenCapture
Very simple screen caputre program.
Stereoscopic Player
http://www.3dtv.at/Downloads/Index_en.aspx
Unregisterd Trial version of Stereoscopic Player has 5mins time restriction. But most YouTube moives might be no problem about this matter.


Usage of test program:
This is main window.
Image

Upper four digits are information of the Capture Area.
- Two left digits are position of upper-left corner.
- Two right digits are width and height.
"ADJUST"
- It enters the Capture Area specification.
"Set USC"
- It applies the specification of Capture Area to UScreenCapture.
"LOAD","SAVE"
- These have not functioned yet.
"Set SVP"
- It applies the specification of Capture Area to Stereo Movie Player. However, this doesn't function completely.
"QUIT"
- Quit test program.

Click "ADJUST", then appears Red Rectangle. This rectangle means Capture Area. Click "ADJUST" again, then clear Red Rectangle.
Drag rectangle, then move Capture Area.
Drag Upper-Left or Bottom-Right, then resize Capture Area.
It can fine adjustment with 'A','S','D' and cursor key.

Like this.
Image

When finish the Capture Area adjustment, Click "Set USC". Then Capture Area is set to UScreenCapture.


How to watch UScreenCapture's Capture Area with Stereoscopic Player:

Click Stereoscopic Player's Shortcut Icon that included in Zip archive.
Half aspect anaglyph
- for use in 50% compressed side-by-side clips with anaglyph
Std aspect anaglyph
- for use in standard side-by-side clips with anaglyph
Half aspect interlaced
- for use in 50% compressed side-by-side clips with interlaced
Std aspect interlaced
- for use in standard side-by-side clips with interlaced

Then you will be able to watch YouTube3D movie in Stereoscopic Player.

Like this.

Try it, please.


supplemental:
When you are in "ADJUST" mode,
+ Right-click will enable you operation under Red Rectangle. Click "ADJUST" then retrun to "ADJUST" mode.
+ Push 'C' key then Selected Red Rectangle will copy to Clipboard. It is very convenience.


Caution:
Direct input to numerical input field is not implemented yet.
Clipping when cursor key moving is not implemented yet.

Todo:
Many, many.

Wow you put some effort in this. Thanks. Will try it when I have more time.

But if I understood right, if uses only 1 youtube video. Isn't that a little bad for the quality? I mean youtube is already bad for 1 stream (mono)!
Or does your program support multiple files for better quality - like the widescreen youtube player (which never worked for me).

I think it is very easy to support widescreen format with this program.

Me too. I think YouTube changed API specification. So widescreen youtube player does not work.
user2319, Come Baaaack!

Here is my YouTube3D clips.
http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=mer2tube
They are all 50% compressed and cross-eyed.
I hope Mr.CarlKenner enjoy these clips with this test program.

This system can convert "Parallel view format" <-> "Crosseye view format".
Use StereoScopic Player's LR switch.

for example:
http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~mt_home/fourd/fourh.htm
Originally, this script displays 3D with Parallel view format.

Convet to Crosseye view format, like this.

The person who can do neither would watch this with anaglyph.

Because of StereoScopic Player, naturally it moves.

Let's keep happy all together.
