Well, this is huge news (at least for me ;-)
My field sequential anaglyphs are working perfectly in Stereoscopic Player, equally as well on a CRT and an LCD monitor... perfect "progressive" (non-interlaced) anaglyph playback. Here's what happened:
When I first started seriously working with the field sequential anaglyph format, a month or two ago, I know I tried to play them in Stereoscopic Player at least a dozen times, totally confused by why they didn't work... I knew that *regular* field sequential 3D could successfully be loaded into the player, and couldn't figure out why the anaglyphs wouldn't work. Also, since they don't work very well in some other media players, like Windows Media Player or RealOne, I just assumed it was because of a video overlay issue or something... and never gave it much further thought, though very disappointed. Well, on my way back home tonight from town, I just thought, "I'm going to try it one more time, just be be sure." So, I just tried it, again...
When you load one, you have an option of choosing "File" > "Layout" > "Interleaved, Right Line First" or "Interleaved, Left Line First". For playback, you have a choice of "View" > "Viewing Method" > "Color Anaglyph Red - Cyan" or "Color Anaglyph Cyan - Red". (I knew that "half color" wouldn't work for these.) Well, for the first dozen times, I must have picked the wrong combination, because all I would see was sort of an unviewable, dark embossed-looking image. You would have thought that I would have gotten it right by accident at least _once_!
Weird... very weird... but I'm ticked to death :-) Now, to go change all the information on my new web pages :-(
This is significant, because I had originally hoped that this format would easily work "progressively" on CRT's and LCD's, as well as field sequentially on an interlaced TV. I was right, after all :-)
