YT3D option on YouTube
Uploading 3D videos on YouTube is easier than before with this YT3D option that appeared in July 2009.![]()
To encode videos in 3D for YouTube, prepare your videos in side-by-side format, with both images squeezed horizontally by 50%. Details on the YouTube web site here.
yt3d:enable=true Enables the view mode. (obviously you've already discovered this)
yt3d:aspect=3:4 Sets the aspect of the encoded video.
yt3d:swap=true Swaps the left and right sources. You may need to add this to videos when the player with fixed anaglyph modes ships.
yt3d:left=0_0.1_0.5_0.9 and yt3d:right=0.5_0.1_1_0.9 These tags are very provisional and most useful for fixing up old videos. They set the source area for each eye as pairs of coordinates x1_y1_x2_y2. The scale of these coordinates is 0,0 for the the top left down to 1,1 for the bottom right. Note: Ideally you shouldn't use left and right. For the best quality make the sources as large as possible within the frame and set yt3d:aspect correctly.
The YouTube technical forum about 3D is here.
Notice the "mode drop down listbox" under the video and check the appropriate mode for your 3D screen.
