Shame on James Cameron for still not releasing a stereoscopic 3D version of the trailer for Avatar, but still trying to convince us to go watch the movie in 3D by just showing us some “flat” teasers and trailers with scenes from the movie. Today I’ve played a bit and managed to prepare a stereoscopic 3D version convert from the official trailer of the movie that looks nice, but don’t expect anything to hit you in the face with this one. Converting 2D to Stereoscopic 3D video does not provide the same great results as when shooting the video in S3D and then providing it in that format, but still it is better than plain 2D so you might as well enjoy the converted trailer…
The 720p trailer is encoded in Windows Media Video format as I had some weird sync issues when trying to use H.264 and the video is in Interlaced format (Field Sequential) so you’ll need to tell the 3D Vision Stereoscopic player to use Interlaced, Left Line First mode when opening the file with aspect ratio of 16:9. You should of course be able to play the video with other respective video players and 3D setups that do support this format, although I did this convert especially for 3D Vision owners. You can also try out the new 1080p S3D teaser trailer of Avatar that provides higher resolution, better quality and is encoded in side-by-side format with another 2D to 3D custom conversion that I’ve been working on. And if you download and try the trailers, please don’t forget to let me know in the comments how do you find the auto conversion to S3D…
