Can 3d movie be cam-ripped?

[Davy]

I've never been to a cinema with 3D technology.
But I wonder... can you watch it without the glasses? Can people still set up a camera and produce an illegal copy of the movie?

[Ole76]

just

just go to the IMAX in Germany for example - remove the "3d" glasses and you will have your answer.

[DamianJ]

they put the glasses in front of their camcorder and then pirate it that way.

cunning little fuckers.

[Davy]

Never been to an IMAX, either.
So at least it makes camming more difficult in the cinema.

I've been wondering when the first Jackass rip would surface. It's the kind of target audience with which you would suspect a rip would appear immediately. So far - nothing.

Sounds like an awful experience, I don't get how could anyone enjoy movie that way... pure evil.

yeah. the camcorders look really stupid with the glasses on too

WHY OH WHY

[woj]

Who would watch a cam rip anyway? The quality is so poor, it doesn't even matter...

[seeandsee]

i am not really sure

[Peace]

of coarse not. even if it is a 3D camera.

[Agent 488]

yes with the new 3d movie ripper cameras you can get off ebay.

OMG, that post made my ribs hurt and caused me to spill a bit of my vodka on my keyboard! wish I could rep you but my day WILL COME!

A normal camcorder would capture exactly the same as what your eyes are seeing in the cinema (without glasses).

So I would have though that, yes, you can rip a 3d film at the cinema, and then play it back on any screen, and if you have the 3d glasses from the cinema, you would see it in 3D.

Although I'm not sure if that's true for Imax cinemas.

[comeplay]

who the fuck downloads TS rips anyway.

And also this movie is playing in 2D as well ATM. So there goes your theory of not seeing a copy for being 3D.

When you watch 3d in a cinema, there are 2 separate projector picture (1 for each eye) combined in 1 picture. You're wearing glasses to have the combined picture split back into 2 (in your head). E.g. in IMAX an image for each eye has different polarization (as well as the lens of glasses).

SO
theoretically

YES you can pirate 3D even in a cinema if:
* you've got 2 cameras
* each cam has it's own "decoding" lens/filter
* the cam can shoot at least 60fps (i might be wrong here)
* you're using camera rig to have the cameras fixed on proper interaxial and convergence point
The signal is encoded afterwards to combine it in shitty shutterglass 3D or even shittier anaglyph 3D video.
Anyways even if that works the quality is gonna be awful, and I suppose you'll get nausea and headache while watching this.

If anybody's gonna test the method - plz hit me up afterwards, I want to see the results.

TS rips and Cam rips are different. A TS rip has perfect sound (Normally as the camera is connected to a direct sound source). A Cam rip just records the sound via a microphone.

Nope. Its projected with Two separate image sources.

Nice guess, but wrong.

Nice answer.

But even if you recorded it with 2 cameras, you would have to hire an editor that specializes in 3d editing to re-converge your images in post. Because of the degree of precision that it takes to shoot 3d. IE, distance, zoom, seat location, etc.

In short, your better off paying to see the movie.
