correct 3d mkv format for dlp

[phoneman]

I have heard it referred to as "checkerboard." I can not determine how to rip my 3d's to that format. I always get top/bottom. Any help would be appreciated. I have an Optoma hd33 dlp projector

Hi,

I suppose that the SBS format is OK for your Optoma hd33 dlp projector.
See the attached screenshot.

Checkerboard is the way a projector displays 3d and has nothing to do with the way you make 3d movies with Fab.

The projector supports all HDMI 1.4a mandatory 3D formats,Please refer to your projectors manual or go to the Projectors web sight.

Thankyou, but isn't that side by side? That does not work for me

You don't have to make a side by side you can copy a 3d blu ray full 3d keep it 50 gigs or reduce it to 25 gigs on the computer and play with your projector using your blu ray player conected with hdmi cabels.You could also make a side by side and reduce it to db9 or even regular db5 dvd disks with blu ray ripper.Here is your projectors manual download sight http://www.retrevo.com/support/Optom...4016dj488/t/2/

Here's how to make a 3d side by side from a 3d movie with Fab version 9
Here is the easy way to make a 25 gig side by side using blu ray copy followed by making one any size with blu ray ripper.Followed by how to make a full 3d disk.

Make a iso (clone) 50 gigs copy of store brought disk to computer hard drive
Open blu ray copy find the file you just made in fabs files then put in blu ray copy check the side by side button and the 50/25 gig drop down box click 25 gigs to reduce the disk (this takes hours) Or leave at 50 gigs to burn a 50 gig copy to blu ray then put your blank 25/50 gig disk in the burner tray and hit start Fab will reduce the size and burn the disk or just make the side by side file and burn to 50 gig disk.That's it.

To use Fab to make any size side by side 3d disk
Use blu ray copy to make a iso copy from store brought disk to hard drive.Then open blu ray ripper
load iso movie in ripper
click profile box (lower left corner)
click 3d format (upper bars)
click m2ts (left side)
Were going to double click the (3d m2ts audio copy normal profile) last profile on right.
Now click on advanced settings
under video (top bar)
Under video quality make your choice, high quality for bigger more detailed file's, normal file for medium size file's and small for the same.You can also fool around with custom size and adjust the bit rate and file size yourself.
If you choice hi quility the file may be big enough that you have to burn it on a blu ray disk.Normal may fit a 2 layer db9 regular dvd and small may fit a regular dvd db5.


Now click on 3d (top bar) left side both split screen and left & right side by side should be checked the circle should be green.
click ok
click start and your good to go.Their are other ways and choices to make to do this but this should give you a good starting point.

If you look at the preview the movie should be playing frame by frame and you should see 2 pictures side by side playing in the preview box this is correct and will play in 3d when your done.The TV or projector must then be put in 3d mode side by side to view this file or disk in 3d.

If you make the file smaller to fit a dvd 9- 8.5 gig disk or dvd 5 disk most newer regular non 3d dvd players will play these data file disks no need for a 3d blu ray player unless you make the file on a blu ray disks.File size is what tells you what size disk to record these on and what kind of player you will need.Projectors may need to use a hdmi input for 3d so you must use a player with hdmi in this case this means a regular or 3d blu ray player.

You will always need a 3d TV or projector to view these that can do side by side 3d most can.Viewing on a non 3d tv or a 3d tv or projector until you put it in 3d side by side mode will result in two side by side pictures.The TV or projector put's them together to make a 3d picture.


Here's how to make a full 3d disk
How to make a 3d disk.

First make sure Fab burning engine is selected in Fabs software settings.
Download vitural drive from fabs front page http://www.dvdfab.com/mlink/download.php?g=VIRTUALDRIVE

Second-Take store brought 3d blu-ray make sure its clean no fingerprints,dust dirt or scratches this is a important step so clean disk even if it looks clean.

Third-Put store brought disk in burner and clone disk to hard drive using blu-ray copy select clone or burn in version 9.This makes a 50 gig exact copy minus the copy protection and is put in Fabs folder named clone.

Forth-Take this file and load in virtual drive and select Blu-ray copy You can make a 50 or a 25 gig full disk,main movie full 3d or side by side (Data file in 3d).The full disk includes everything on disk, the main movie is just the main movie both can be made in full 3d meaning 1080p in each eye the same as the store brought disk is.

The side by side is not a blu-ray but 1080 in one eye with the other eye less resolution.They can be put on blu-ray disks(25 gigs) or compressed and put on single or 2 layer regular dvds at 1080p or less resolutions.

Advantage is you don't need a 3d blu-ray player to play a side by side movie just need a 3d tv or 3d monitor and a regular blu ray player for 25 gig disks or if compressing to less than 25 gig with blu-ray main movie then a regular dvd player can play side by side 3d if it supports the format.Newer one's may.

I think all blu-ray players will support side by side.Your 3d tv must also support side by side most do..If you make just the main movie you can compress side by side to any size disk or any resolution.The 3d effects are the same.They also look great even compressed to 8.5 gig 2 layer disks on a large screen tv.Your pushing it on 4.5 gig regular dvd's but it can be done it is highly compressed maybe kids won't know the difference.

Now at the bottom of the page there's a small box that says 50 gig that's the default setting and is a drop down box when clicked here you select 25 gigs if you want a 25 gig disk.This is for full disk full 3d.Hit start and several hours later fab makes and burns a 3d movie for you.

For main movie full 3d you select this first in blu-ray copy then you can take out sound tracks you don't want and choice which subtitles you want to copy or don't select any if you don't want any then check the 25 gig box on the bottom of page and hit next it brings you to the 3d page their 3d is already selected for you this will make a full 3d disk.Just make sure that little box at the bottom of the page that 25 gig is selected if not you get a 50 gig copy uncompressed.If you want a side by side you select it here instead of the pre checked full 3d copy.

Now put a blank 25 gig in your burner drive fab will take it from here and compress the movie and do the burn for you if the disk is in the drive.If you don't have the disk in the drive the disk can be burned later by putting the new made 22-24 gig compressed 3d folder (that should be in full disk or main movie folders in the Fab program files)load it in virtual drive and select write data or burn in version 9 and burn the disk always make sure you do this with Fabs burning engine that gets set in software before you even make the 50 gig iso from the store brought disk or you won't get a 3d disk Fabs burning engine burns the 3d files on the disk.

Img burn can do this only if you made a 25gig iso during the compression stage so only if you made a 25 gig ISO can you use img burn to do the burn.

It's better to compress and burn in the Fab program all at once.When you start going to other programs to do the burn they may have higher burn speeds that's a bad thing burning the disk too fast Leeds to a lot of problems and reason it won't play in other players.When setting burn speed set to auto or one half disk speed to make a disk that plays well on other players.

Fabs program files is where the log files are under log, their Fab records each step of the process in case something goes wrong if so you can cut and paste the log file for the movie you just done and put it in a post so staff or user's can look at them to see if their are errors or fab bugs to be fixed it's a great help when something goes wrong.The newest made file is the last one at the bottom all files for all disks made are here unless you delete them.If using img burn to burn a 3d iso they also have a log file should something go wrong post its log file.

Their is another file called the burn log this file tells a lot about the burner you used we can check to see if your burner software is out of date or if your burn speed is set to high and other things so also include a burn log when something goes wrong with burning a 3d disk like no 3d etc.Again cut and past only the part of the file that you had trouble with the newest movie done is the top log in this case.Their dated also to make them easy to find.

Sounds hard but its like riding a bike after you get the hang of it.When done their are two copy's of the same movie in Fab folders the 50 gig iso and the 25 gig compressed movie you just made.They will still be their so you can make another copy or delete them.Their in two different folders
