....field-sequential 3D video maintains very good separation between the
left and right images to produce very good 3D and the images are in full
colour.  Yes is does have flicker, but if you reduce the brightness of the TV
and drop the room lighting, the flicker can be reduced to acceptable levels.

Turning down the contrast will have a greater effect on the flickering.

Contrary to many previous posts about Rhino video's tapes being garbage I
can
  assure you they're not.  They work just fine on a properly calibrated TV.

I have seen Rhino tapes at Suncoast Video for $12.95. Maybe Ill try one out.

...Yeah. I guess I agree with Kobal. IMHO, with the proliferation of Dolby
surround, higher fidelity image acquisition, and other technologies way
beyond my ken, but not my appreciation, it IS only a question of time before
3-D cinema returns, and for good. Hang in there, bobcatters.

I agree. Its only a matter of time. Look at widescreen movies. 10 years ago,
widescreen movies were panned and scanned on video tape and TV. Then, laser
discs came out with letterboxing movies. Later VHS tapes. Now we have
letterboxing on TCM, AMC and pay per view channels. Magazines on widescreen
movies - Widescreen Review and WideGauge Film and Video Newsletter. A
widescreen WEB site. Maybe ten years from now 3-D movies on tapes and laser
discs will be common.

I think the problem is that Hollywood never got past the point of 3D
being a novelty; they never settled down to simply using it as a normal
part of the filmmaking process.

It was tried in 50s with Dial M for Murder and the 80s with
Spacehunter.
People hated those movies in 3-D because nothing came out of the screen. 

So what incentive is there for anyone (Hollywood/network television) to
promote high-quality stereo video?

I dont know. Why does Disney World have two 3-D movie attractions? Why does
Universal Studios have two 3-D movie attractions? Why are there Imax 3-D
movies? Because people want to see them. Maybe 3-D video tapes or laser discs
will be next?
