Read a 3D

Solved

Hello,

I recently acquired a Samsung HU6200 50" TV (active 3D). I have already enjoyed the screen quality in 2D, but now I would like to do the same with 3D content.

I got the movie Gravity in 3D, an ISO of 27GB. The downside is that I don’t have a graphics card that supports 3D Vision. From what I’ve read on some forums, all you need is to get Nvidia 3DTV Play, and it's all set.

I installed it, and when I play my ISO, it tells me that I’m missing a codec for movie playback. So I extracted the ISO to obtain the video file.
I got an unreadable .ssif file with VLC, Media Player, and even Nvidia 3DTV Play: missing essential codec.

Is it really a codec issue, or is my archive faulty? Because I’m having a hard time understanding.

Thank you in advance.

    File sharing among family members when you have the original and through private platforms is not illegal. Moreover, I don't recall asking the question "Am I allowed to post my question here?", but rather: "Is it really a codec issue or is my archive faulty?".
    And as you cite the charter: The use of peer-to-peer file sharing software (noted P2P) is not prohibited by the law currently in effect in France.
    The other part concerns open sharing. I’m not going to travel 75 km to get my cousin's Blu-ray. At that point, it would be more cost-effective to buy it than to spend the price of the Blu-ray on gas and maintenance.
    Well, after all, it's my life, but here it's a support forum. So whenever possible, we should help each other.
    An ISO of a Blu-ray is just an archive taken from a physical Blu-ray to prevent any quality loss. And the SSIF format is the reading format for a standard Blu-ray player.
    I don't think virtualization is prohibited?
    So using Daemon Tools to create a virtual disk and emulate a Blu-ray player could work?

    Thank you.

    Thank you anyway.

    I will test to see if the codecs you give me will change something. The downside of "buying" a Blu-ray is that you have to like the movie. I haven't seen Gravity, and I don't want to invest in a movie that I'm only going to watch once and that I may not like.
    That's why I asked my cousin to provide me with the ISO instead of buying it, by the way.

    Hello,

    "I got the movie Gravity in 3D, an iso of 27GB": I would be very surprised if this type of video could be found in stores.
    So no help from CCM according to the Charter of the site and particularly this part Respect for applicable legislation.

    Best regards

    Well, I do not judge the meaning of the Law, but as it is, yes, exchanging files taken from a commercial DVD/Blu-ray is illegal. My assistance will therefore be minimal to you to fend for yourself.

    After all, your search engine on the Internet is your best friend, so use it ;)

    For example, read this file: https://www.avcesar.com/
    And for informational purposes, "SSIF files are actually links (shortcuts) to M2TS," taken from this topic.
    M2TS files may use the following codecs: H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC or SMPTE VC-1. Gravity on BD 3D uses H264/AVC according to the specialized sites I have consulted.

    Personally, I would tell you to buy a Blu-ray 3D player if it exists to enjoy the films in the best conditions, they can be found from around €75.
    And finally, if it's just to test, you can find fairly easily and legally small files in 3D, often trailers.

      You still need a Blu-ray burner on the computer if you want to read it in a player...

      My search engine is my friend, I know. I was advised to use PowerDVD 11 Ultra 3D. I had it, but it doesn't recognize the format. I tested with Nvidia 3DTV, same issue. VLC cannot handle the format, so I feel a bit silly.
      Then according to what I read here: http://www.3dvisionfr.net/2011/05/comment-lire-un-film-3d/#.VBQo7XaCfKF
      I don't necessarily need to have a 3D Blu-ray player to watch a 3D movie.

    Your concern seems to come from the files that accompany the SSIF folder: https://www.avcesar.com/
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find the free BD3D so I can't do tests :(

    For that, you need an AVC/MVC player. The MVC codec (Multiview Video Coding) is an evolution of the H264/AVC codec for 3D videos

    Maybe a solution here: https://www.avcesar.com/
    The subject is the topic of many discussions, more or less related, online...

    However, I believe that buying the real BD3D, and thus also getting a BD 3D player, would be a much better solution.

    Personally, I have a few small 3D files but encapsulated in MP4 or MKV, and even in AVI, like Elephant Dreams 3D side-by-side that I can read with the NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Player or the NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Video Player but no BD3D ISO to test so I can't help you further.
