3D Films..?

[harv]

Have discovered a PC app that converts 3D films ripped from Blu-Rays/DVDs into glasses-free 3D to watch on the 3DS.

The guy that wrote it has stopped updating it now which is a bit of a pain in the bum cos it's pretty buggy and doesn't work on some RIPs but it's better than nowt lol.

Got any recommendations for stuff to watch..?

The only films where I've thought the 3d particularly impressive were Avatar and Beowulf.
Unfortunately neither was a great film. And if they've been successfully converted to glasses-free 3d there's no guarantee either would be any good.

Everyone knows the merits of Avatar's 3d.
With Beowulf I'm not sure if the 3d was actually any good in retrospect, but it was 2007 and was the first of the current gen of 3d films that I'd seen - and I was impressed at the time. Arrows flying around looked particularly impressive. And seeing a naked 3d Angelina Jolie walk out of a pool toward you was something special     (Animated overlay, and with a body double, but very nice all the same. lol @ the several hundred blokes reaching out with both arms at that point. )

The 3D in John Carter was good, under rated film in my opinion.

The animated "Legend of the Guaridans *the Owls of Gahoul)" was good too.

3D when used to help create an immersive word, giving depth throughout the movie is good. When used poorly and mainly for big scenes with things flying around the screen it's a waste of time (and money).

Have downloaded and converted Alice In Wonderland and Avatar so far. Unfortunately you need to split the films into ten minute pieces which is a bit of a pain in the bum, and Nintendo haven't allowed you to watch them all one after the other so you need to finish the one you've watched and then physically start the next installment. A bit of a pain but not a big deal tbh, you get a gap of a few seconds before you start the next bit.

I've also found a nice bit of software that not only converts between all of the 3D formats in existence but it also converts 2D video into 3D and it does the latter pretty well. Going to convert some classics I think - Zulu, Maltese Falcon, loads of Hitchcock films, African Queen, American Werewolf in London, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, Star Wars, Blade Runner...the list goes on and on.

The quality isn't the best due to the resolution of the screen but definitely watchable.

Alice In Wonderland is fantastic, the 3D really works well

Can tell you're close to being a Geordie by the Y I down the side of the screen.

Careful - I get stabby when called a Geordie

Reminds me of a bloke who used to play in a football team I played for. He was from Hartlepool but we called him Geordie. Lost count of the times he said "I'm not a bloody Geordie man".
