| 3dtv.at | Stereoscopic Player A versatile 3D movie player. It allows you to play stereoscopic videos and DVDs (external decoder required) and also allows you to watch live video from a capture device. Since it is based on DirectShow, it can handle almost any media format, for example AVI, MPEG, WMV, ASF and MOV. Videos can be coded in several different stereoscopic formats. |
39 Euro (Private Edition) |
| Martin Lambers | Bino 3D Video Player An open source player that plays stereoscopic 3D videos, which have separate views for the left and right eye and thus allow depth perception through stereopsis. Supported input formats (modern formats can be autodetected):
