To Giovanni: Thanks for all the freeware links which you have provided for quite some time. They certainly make for interesting research.
The link for http://portable-app.com is valid but the download link doesn't work. When you try to download (giving company name and email address) it leads to a dead link 404 error.

Awesome software! Running Win 8 X64 RP on a quad core, with a stereoscopic 3D NVidia card. Adjusted depth to 50% on the 3D Video settings, and your output looks better than 3D - almost holographic. Thanks GOTD and Aiseesoft. Will buy in Oct.

Talking of real-time conversions that shouldn't be possible but do actually work... the DVD upscaling done by this software DVD player -
http://www.cyberlink.com/stat/technology/enu/true-theater-solution.jsp
- is truly remarkable and plays DVDs at blu-ray quality. Better than any hardware DVD upscaling I've ever seen. The same company has a 2D -> 3D converter so if anyone here has seen it in action please let us know how well it compares to today's offering.

Ok, here are two AVI videos - one is 2D - the other is an identical 3D rendition.....

When a 3D video Conveter can take the 2D AVI and make it into the results the 3D AVI shows, then I will be a believer. NO other 3D Converters have shown me they are capable of converting a 2D Video with results like the 3D video has to offer. This is an Anaglyph 3D video, so you will need Red/Cyan Glasses to view the effects.....
If any of you know of a Video Concerter that will accomplish what the 3D Video AVI shows, then let me know..... Thanks....

There are two techniques that could be used:
1) *IF* the camera is panning sideways (eg on a dolly track or looking out a train window) successive images are displaced and can be used instead of left eye/right eye images. Easy to get front inverted for back if panning in the wrong direction, but the software should take care of that.
2) As someone mentioned, you can crudely approximate a depth map by analyzing the depth of field of the image.
Neither technique is very good and if you're a 3D enthusiast, this sort of processing will drive you nuts.
There are some academic research projects to extract depth from single images which use techniques like FFTs. There's also methods of converting specific objects to 3D such as faces.
It's down at the moment but when the site is up have a look at make3d.cs.cornell.edu
Google for terms like 'depth map extraction from single image'

Aiseesoft Total Media Converter Platinum already has capability to "convert 2D to 3D." So, I don't believe I need to install it separately unless this program does even more in the conversion than the all-in-one Platinum version given away recently.
Regarding updates, most of the giveaways, including Aiseesoft products (I'm fairly certain) ask first before updating. Even though they check for updates and notify me, I respond "No" unless I decide to buy it at that time.

@Mauricio
Do remember that GAofD is meant to be full-featured non-timebombed TRIALS. You're supposed to still eventually buy or uninstall them.
If you don't want to support the developer and leach off the giveaway trial, simply uncheck the check box for updates.
MOST people prefer to have updated software in the real world; and generally the auto-update features are ON by default.
@VaughnF
You're probably installing a 3D or accelerator driver for your video chip if you don't have it installed already. Driver downloads are common with video apps.
And before anyone flames me over that first comment; yes, I've purchased 3 different titles form this company since the total video converter giveaway. Great products and reasonable prices. Also quick to respond support. They're worth supporting if you want them to keep making quality apps for low prices.

This is what I noticed. The software tries to "decompose" the scene into two or three planes. Objects in front of you, middle-range and background. This is done by checking how fast they move between the original frames. Then the algorythm produces the left- and right-eye frames emphasizing the deep of those planes according to the depth parameter you provide.
As tiorbinist wrote (#26), you can't get objects behind others, expecially if the was not captured by the camera :-)
The result of these convertions is just an increased depth of the scenes.
But I can assure you, if you look back at the original film, you will notice the difference.
I converted some Star Trek Voyager episodes from the DVD, and the result was absolutely enjoyable. I am pretty sure that Paramount will never publish a 3D converted version of this series, and probably if they will, for the reasons above, the result will be not so different from what I achieved by myself... :-)

I converted a 3D to 2D and it worked well on Windows 7 64 bit. I didn't see a setting for 1080p which is the standard HD format for YouTube. That seems to be the case with a lot of converters recently offered on Giveawayoftheday.

Have not downloaded and installed but, can tell you from paste experience, Aiseesoft has top notch software. I will get it. Not so sure about the 3D thingy though. Don't believe any software avaialble to the general public can do that. I gotta have it either way.

How does "making any GAOTD portable" avoid the "automatic update issue"? Giovanni, I do not see the connection, so could you please explain? Thank you.

Honzza (#3), this uses algorithm that generates 3D from image information taken from adjacent or neighboring frames. In effect, the 3D image is still formed with a left-eye and a right-eye view.
Save | Cancel
If someone understands 3D better, please explain how a single source image can possibly become "3D" - it has to be just some silly pixel offset thing, right? Not really 3D right? I've seen the Hollywood documentaries on 3D and there
's always TWO cameras. Thoughts?

It should be fairly obvious that converting 2D to 3D does not mean that each independent object in every frame is somehow magically isolated and turned into a 3-dimensional object. It should also be pretty obvious to anyone who observes the RealWorld(tm) that a 3D movie is not "really" 3D: if you change from the left side of the theatre to the right side, you can't see things behind that actor that were hidden from you when you sat on the left side.
So unless a program has unbelievably complex heuristics and a database about objects in the RealWorld(tm) that exceeds the capacity of a molecular memory store that uses the Sun for its media, it's a sure thing that any program that claims to make 2D movies into 3d movies simply reformats 2D movies to make them appear as a flat 3D object hovering in the 3D space. There might be some effort to slightly warp the image to, say, make everything (and I mean everything, actor, background, mid-range objects) appear at a different 3-d distance than other parts, but please, don't expect too much here. 2D->3D is a convenience, nothing more.
On the other hand, there are more than 2 3D formats, some of which have been named here. 2-Image 3d relies on the fact that each of your eyes (if you have 2 in working order) sees a slightly different image, and your brain works with them to integrate those two images into a coherent 3D view. The two images have to be presented separately, each to its associated eye. One way to do this (stereopticon-style) is to present them side-by-side and use lenses to superimpose the images in what your brain perceives as the same space. Your eyes do the rest.
An option is to just present the two images, side by side, and get the user to cross or uncross their eyes until the two images superimpose. Eventually, ol' brain realizes that there's something to focus on in a place that the eyes' angles don't indicate, the two images come into focus and get superimposed in the brain, voila! 3D image.
Another is to present them in the same space, but somehow shuttered so that each eye sees only its image there. One of the oldest (and still in use) was via a lenticular screen or lens. Those of us old enough to remember Cracker Jack remember plastic-covered pictures which changed as we moved them. The near surface of the plastic was a lenticular screen, and the picture behind it was cut into strips, alternating between the different images, so that the vertical lines of the plastic presented only one image to the eyes as you turned it. A variation of this uses two or more images of the same scene, taken from slightly different angles, and the lenticular lenses present neighboring slices of those scenes to your eyes so that you perceive a 3-D view.
Red/Blue (anaglyph)3D is a cheat based the near-to-each-other approach: two images are made from a single monochrome image, and printed on top of each other, each in a different color. Glasses with color-filter lenses are used to view the result, and if the colors of the print are chosen well and the filters in the lenses are good enough, each eye only sees their appropriate image. Since the displacement between the pictures is small, the eyes don't work so hard to superimpose them, the brain doesn't work so hard to figure out how to focus the eyes, and there it is, a 3D image.
The modern-day version of this is a massive updating of the lenticular screen idea: the images are projected onto the same space, with successive frames coded for first one eye, then the other. Some mechanism exposes the proper eye only to the proper image. At first this was done with shuttering, either mechanical (bulky, heavy, noisy, and as far as I know, never commercialized) and then LCD shuttering. These systems require glasses with wiring to drive the lens shuttering in sync with the images on the screen.
A newer approach is more basic: polarization. Originally, two projectors showed the same film, taken by two cameras in binocular position. The viewer wore glasses with polarized lenses. Since polarized light passes through polarized lenses which line up with the polarizer, but are blocked by polarized lenses at 90-degrees rotation, it should be fairly easy to figure out how they were used.
The yet-newer format, which is being applied both to film and tv, uses an LCD screen formulated to electronically switch polarization at the image, and I won't even describe the optics (since I think the people doing it are keeping their specifics proprietary to milk the technology as long as they can.)
In every case, however, 3D moving images from TV or computer screens are no different than good old stereopticons. It is the differences in placement of images within the overall image presented to each eye that determines the '3D-ness' of that object, and because no information is stored about things behind 'near things', it is not truely 3d. Getting that displacement info from one flat image is well-neigh impossible.
That's why 2D to 3D is not terribly impressive.

2D to 3D? BS. it is never going to look as good as original 3D even if the original 3D is not shot by a 3D camera (i.e., the studio converted 2D to 3D and re-released it). there are software like powerDVD from cyberlink which does a decent job of conversion on-the-fly. but this one? no way!
Save | Cancel
One added benefit is that this will convert 3D to 2D which a lot of programs don't do. This also allows for the adjustment of depth, which helps to keep images from looking too separated.
It doesn't do much for "talking heads" or scenes with little movement. And the animated scene I tried made them look like cardboard cutouts at best. But I could see someone who spent a fortune on their 3DTV having a use for something like this.

It's a good software to convert video to anaglyph 3D. Another point to mention is that it is simple and the output converted video has great quality. You can choose the profile according to your device and select the audio track. It supports 5.1 Channel output!

#2 All you have to do is to click on Tools in the toolbar of the program, and select preferences. Then below under Updates Settings subtitle, uncheck mark (or untick) the box. Et voilà!
#7 Giovanni, I regret to say that your freeware is only a shareware as it is limited in time. Beside there is no need to make the program portable as it disagree with GAOTD's policy on recompiling their application which is not allowed. Be careful. Usually I like your freewares, except for freemake which is totally rubbish. So don't get discouraged. And keep up your research.
About the aiseesoft-3d-converter-638, it would be nice to include some video tutorial and a more elaborate in-built help. And I'd like to know what are the differences between the 5 3D outputs... I am more interested to 2D conversion to 3D. The download went smooth and so was the registration. No problem whatsoever. I will try a conversion to see the results and update it here afterwards only if the result is bad. Thanks everybody.

The version number of Total Media Converter Platinum given away lsat time was the same (6.3.8). I really appreciated the conversions I've done, even if I had to try different depths to obtain good results.

So this is my question: is this the same engine found in Total Media Converter Platinum given away last time?

Although I think 3D is just a gimmick, I gave this GOTD a spin.
Well, it installed and work just fine here on my I5 XPSP3.
10min 2D FLV file was converted to 3D in 3.5min.
Of course it can't be true 3D but it gave "that fill" to it.
It's good the software gives you some manual settings for the coding.

for auto updates go to top of the program
click tools , uncheek auto updates.
the video driver thing is that the software
wants to use your video card to help do the
conversion, if it finds older drivers that can be updated
to let it use the video card it will tell you to up date .
after you do go to the tools menu, you will see a cheek
next to your card, this makes the possess work faster

I am afraid I have to respectfully disagree with comment #2 Mauricio. Aiseesoft Studio is in the business of selling software. The people that buy their software appreciate updating to the latest version. For those that get it here free, it is very easy to turn off this function under the Tools... Preferences Menu. Aiseesoft Studio can not be expected to alter their program to suit GAOTD users.
To comment # 5 VaughnF. I think what you saw was an offer to install the driver for either Nvidia GPU Acceleration or the AMD APP Acceleration. I assume these will make the program run faster but they are not necessary to run the program.
As for the software, I am not a 3D fan but I have the Total Media Converter from the earlier giveaway. Let me just say that after using it I uninstalled ALL of my other converters to use Total Media Converter. And as everyone knows a lot of converters offered here so I had a ton of them. So I feel that this publisher offers quality products. If you are even a little interested in 3D, I would say try it.

#5 Most video/audio software will try to instal drivers needed to run the program if it isn't already installed on your system. This is quite normal and it's always useful to increase your total of drivers. Once a driver is installed you won't be faced with the need to install it again.

How many software packages don't come with automatic up date checking being the default setting?
Don't hold a developer responsible poor installation technique. Free will comes with a price. Minimal price in this case.
It is unlikely that GOTD and Aiseesoft developers got up this morning with the intent to give you something then cheat you by taking it back with auto update.
This program is providing a method to look into one of the many techniques of moving from a flat plane to a view simulating depth. I am enjoying playing with views that I hope to be able to rotate.
