3D File Formats

When playing a 3D photo or video file, TriDef 3D Media Player analyses the file to determine how the 3D information has been stored within it. To manually select the format click the 3D File Format control and chose one of the following:

Left Right Squashed	Right Left Squashed	Left Right	Right Left
Above Below Squashed	Below Above Squashed	Above Below	Below Above

When playing a 2D video or photo, select the 2D → 3D 3D File Format. The file will then be played in 3D automatically.

Alternatively, place the appropriate suffix at the end of the filename, before the extension. Files with the following extensions do no not require renaming: .TriDefMovie, .TriDefPhoto, .mpo, .jps.

The following animation shows the “left view” and “right view” of a 3D scene:

The examples refer to an image, but the same convention also applies to videos. For example, if a video named “nail.avi” looks like the image below, then rename the file “nail-ab.avi”.

Suffix	Example	Filename	Description
-ab		nail-ab.jpg	“Above Below” A single image with the left view placed above the right view.
-lr		nail-lr.jpg	“Left Right” A single image with the left view before the right view.
-abq		nail-abq.jpg	“Above Below Squashed” Above-below as for -ab but with each view scaled to half its original height.
-lrq		nail-lrq.jpg	“Left Right Squashed” Left-right as for -lr but with each view scaled to half its original width.

If the left and right views are reversed then use -rl, -ba, -rlq or -baq instead.

Other supported suffixes include -oe, -3di, -sd, -2×2 and -ana.
