3D Video of Asteroid Vesta 26

TheNextCorner writes "Glide over the giant asteroid Vesta with NASA's Dawn spacecraft in a new 3-D video. Dawn has been orbiting Vesta since July 15, obtaining high-resolution images of its bumpy, cratered surface and making other scientific measurements." You'll need some red/green or red/blue glasses for the 3D effect.

    For my 3ds. I mean those color glasses are ok but the 3ds is better for viewing stereoscopic images than a pair of 3d glasses.

    I'm dissapointed they aren't using yt3d or at least something else where it lets you choose how you want to see the 3D effect. I love looking at side-by-side crosseye videos, and really dislike the red/green or red/blue glasses for they make the colors look crappy and make my head hurt. On the other hand, I've watched whole Cameron's Avatar in crosseye without troubles.

    Yeah. It would be nice if they'd just cross-post it to YouTube. Then I could watch it with my EVO 3d's stereoscopic display. Plus, hey, more exposure for a cool NASA project!

    I've just converted the video with ffmpeg+imagemagick to side-by-side stereo and uploaded it to youtube. It's entirely grayscale now, but that only really affects the logo at the beginning. Also, ffmpeg crashes close to the end, but only a few seconds are missing. Enjoy in porper yt3d [youtube.com]. Since my eyes suck, and I'm too lazy to grab my glasses, I'm only moderately sure that the left/right frame setting is correct.
