Stereostopic Player Editor's Review

Make your room a real 3D cinema!

It's never been easyer! We all know that we live in the time of 3D technology, and I'm quite sure that anyone of us was shocked when we saw for the first time a 3D demo in a supermarket or cinema. Well, while the prices for special 3D devices and TV's are still high, I found a way to watch my favourite movies, at home, in front of my normal monitor, all of them in real 3D mode! Later I connected the PC to a bigger TV to enhance the "feeling" (combined with a 5.1 surround sound). And so, my normal TV became a full HD 3D Tv for all my movies. All you need is a cheap pair of glasses (red-cyan; red-magneta; polarized; etc), and you're ready! Stereostopic Player is the best 3D rendering software for movie playback and it supports a lot of filetypes (DVD,AVI,MPEG,MKW,DTS, etc), but like most programs, it has some weaknesses. It's a simple and easy-to-use software, but it's quite a challenge to configure the right type of 3D render for your glasses...But after you manage to set it up, you can enjoy the full 3D experience in your room!

Pro's: great 3D player for HD movies, easy to use after config, can open video URL's, can handle Windows Media Dual Stream files, supports separate left/right files, playback of any other format supported by third party DirectShow decoders, windows Media 7.1 and 5.1 multichannel audio decoding;

Con's: expensive, preety hard to configure, some issues the subtitle feature, might need other video codecs;

Conclusion: Stereostopic Player is a great video player for 3D movies, and if you consider that it's worth to transform your normal monitor into a 3D one,than you should buy it! (39EUR). Don't worry about the glasses, the price for some modern polarized glasses is quite low. I strongly suggest you use it on a powerfull computer if you want a smooth playback for HD movies.
