3D movies

[The Commader]

is it possible to author a 3D movie with the newest Sony Vegas programm?? I think it is very expensive right now???

1) need brandnew programm
2) need a blueray/3D burner (I don't think normal blueray burner can't do it??)
3) a blueray/3D player but which one for the future.....
because today I have heard at the end of the year there will be comes out a 100 GB Blueray disks. And if they comes out can a normal blueray player read them and play them???? (I get an LG DVD recorder. I can watch DVD's but DL he can't read!) Will it be the same with the 30 GB bluerays and 100GB bluerays!

I think there will be a hugh techniqual revolution the next two years. (That's also a reason why I waited so long to buy a new HD Cam! And now I have something for the future I hope)!

I know some of you are watching Bluerays with the PS3 or you get a Blueray player. But what you wanna do when the next level of bluerays are not readable on your players.
And also a question Metallica are recording the Vancouver show in 3D. If they release it are you going to buy a new 3D TV only for one show???????

and by the way my Cam (panasonic) [3D modus] has an convergenz point of 1,5 meter. What does it mean? Well when I have an object 1,4 meter in front of my special lense it seems that it will come out of the TV! But I don't have this special lense right now. Because I have none 3D television and that point brings me back to this starting thread comments.....

i'm still not at all convinced of this 3D tecnology...this will need more years to convince people and the 3D tecnology needs to get better.

Yes, its possible to use Sony Vegas Pro 10.0d and up along with Cyberlink PowerDirector to author 3D Blu-rays. You do not need special discs to burn 3D Blu-ray movies. Regular blank BD-R media will work just fine. Depending on the size and length of the movie, you can to choose between single-layer (25GB) discs and dual-layer (50GB) discs. A 25GB disc will hold approximately 2 hours of HD video, while a 50GB disc will hold around 4 hours of HD video.

When recording your own Blu-ray 3D movies, a regular internal or external Blu-ray burner will get the job done. The only part of the entire process that does not need special “3D enabled” hardware is the disc itself. This is part of the brilliance of the Blu-ray disc format: the specification can be modified and updated to include new features.

In regards to 100GB and 128GB BDXL Blu-rays, yes you will need new hardware but they've been out since 2010 and was developed with specific market segments in mind and not really for your average consumer. It will be a few more years before it becomes mainstream and prices drop farther and speeds improve. However, because the new media specifications are extensions of current Blu-ray Disc technologies, future BDXL capable recorders can easily be designed to play back existing 25GB and 50GB Blu-ray Disc formats. So you'll still be able to playback your existing collection.
