Recently I started to use Sony Vegas 10 pro, and I discovered that it had 3D video editing capabilities and Colorcode encoding feature. However, it's impossible to find a tutorial online about the way to convert the popular HSBS 3D video into a Colorcode3D video. Their amber/blue glasses cost you only $4 for 2 in Amazon, absolutely worth a try. Please, go to their website and buy their paper glasses, (don't get the plastic ones), and you will see why. So in the search of finding a way to play 3D video on regular monitors I discovered Colorcode 3D, which it's the best way to do the job. Being a poor guy I can't afford to throw away my 65' projection TV, ebay all my LCD monitors and buy all new 3D ones.

To play this kind of 3D video/pictures, usually you need to have a 3D TV or LCD with expensive LCD shutter glass, and a HTPC that could understand this kind of format. However, it also reduce the horizontal resolution by half, degrading the video quality a little bit, but in my experience, the sacrifice is completely worth it: it's very hard to tell the difference.

The advantage of this kind of format is obvious: it can deliver 3D images without creating any new format, and be totally compatible with all regular 2D video/pictures.
