Thanks for your review of the video you have.  Can you quantify the
violations and parallax?  How much is maximum deviation on-screen?  How
large is your viewing screen.

As some of you may have noticed with my rantings about the SI-3d issue, the
need for sufficient depth is very important to me.  As with printed
anaglyphs, video stereo probably needs some exagerrated deviations (i.e.
parallax) to give a good sensation of depth.  Particularly as video is
fairly low resolution.  But what does that mean numerically on the actual
image surface?

I am trying to learn what people want and respond to, in terms of depth.

(I realize this is general topic, and am cross-posting to P3D, where
replies should go)
