Pirating 3D movies

[Recursion]

This is the type of 3D we're talking about. Read post number 4.



Then setup a 3D camera to work with it.

I edited my post.

Even still, how are you going to stitch the two images together correctly? You're not going to know which positions the images would need aligning in to.

I'ma let someone else take over, I still don't think it's easily possible.

EDIT: As N!ck said, the trouble also is how discreet the setup would be, it'd be fairly hard to hide two cameras at various distances.

Have you seen a 3D movie file? You don't even stitch the files together, just put them side by side in the right resolution, most 3D cameras and processing software would probably do this for you anyway.

(For those who are still confused)
Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZfa9oBsoA pause at about 10 seconds in, then click left image on the 3D menu, then click right image only... flicking through the two shows a slight difference in perspective. Without the 3D movie tags this is a single movie file with the aspect ratio of 42:9 (two videos running side by side).

I'm also not sure these new RealD glasses would work either, seeing as humans get headaches after a while using them, they must be tricking the brain into merging the images or something.

circular polarisation, every 3D is tricking the brain, but it's more about how your eyes receive the image. The glasses are only to put the images back together after they've been separated, putting them back together at the screen means no 3D, but putting it together where your eyes are makes use of the space between you and the screen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealD_Cinema

I don't see why it's not possible. You'd just need to set it up how the human eyes are set out as mentioned. Then just put the two cameras together when you get home or something. The tricky part would be getting it in the cinema

Thats not a problem for piraters anymore, the good ones just bribe a small individual cinema to setup a camera in the projection room. Especially easy if it's a family owned business.

The alignment of the cameras would be as close together as possible. Theoretically, the place where the cameras should be is the exact same spot but obviously you can't do that. Plus a small difference in position isn't going to be noticeable considering the size and distance to the screen.

Wait, either I'm being ******ed or that wouldn't be the aspect ratio surely? The images don't run side by side, they are both offset from the centre only slightly.

When you're viewing the video then they're slightly offset, but the 3D video player does that bit, all you need to do is produce a video like the one downloadable from that link. And the videos aren't offset from the centre, they're placed ontop of each other perfectly and then the filters are applied, it's the actual videos which are different.

He means that when the 3D tag isn't applied, it would just play the two different video streams next to each other. Cinema aspect ratio is 21:9, thus making it 42:9

ah, typo there, meant to have said 32:9 (being half of 16:9 in the case of the video I used as an example)

That makes a bit more sense
