I made VLC command line shortcuts with the right aspect and cropping for each 3D movie I have (on Windows). As long as the movie has a pretty high bit rate it'll still look fine. If you take a 1080p HSBS movie, cut off one of the sides, and stretch it to the right aspect ratio then it'll still be a 1080p movie because the half you're watching is still 1920x1080. We tend to use it to refer to high quality movies because the higher resolution means your can expect a higher data rate and therefore a better picture. I don't have a 3D screen or glasses, but would like to future-proof (as much as possible) my downloads by downloading 1080p 3D movies (as they seem to be the latest & greatest), but if it is halving the quality in my scenario, then I'll just stick to regular 1080p videos.ġ080p only really refers to the resolution of a movie, not it's actual quality. If I do this to a 1080p 3D movie, will it effectively make it half quality or 540p (if that even exists)? I'm not sure if there's an easier way to solve this, but maybe I can help someone with this! Click on 'Close', hit 'Play' and enjoy your movie in 2D D Go to 'Tools' -> 'Effects and Filters' (CTRL+E on Windows)ġ1. If you don't already know, check your video resolution under 'Tools' -> 'Media Information' (CTRL+I on Windows) -> 'Codec'ĩ. Start VLC and play your 3D video, pause somewhere at the startĩ. Keep in mind that the changed aspect ratio will be saved for all your videos - remove it after watching 3D or your normal videos might seem to be a bit stretched -Ĩ. Type in the aspect ratio with the width doubled - for example 32:9 for a 16:9 video, or 8:3 for a 4:3 video. On the right part of the settings window, scroll down to 'Source aspect ratio'Ħ. On the left part of the settings window, scroll down and select 'Video'ĥ. On the lower left corner choose 'Show settings' -> 'All'Ĥ. Go to 'Tools' -> 'Preferences' (CTRL+P on Windows)ģ. Start VLC (you don't have to play a video at this time)Ģ. I got a 3D side-by-side MKV-Movie but I only have a 2D TV - my question was how to get only the picture of the 'left eye' in fullscreen with the right aspect ratio?Īnd after about an hour of playing around. I'm new to the board and hope I'm posting in the right category
