Youtube HTML5 3D Upload/playback issues with FF
I have a finished a sample video in Cyberlink PowerDirector 11 using stereoscopic 3D. I rendered the video in two separate runs as both an MPEG4 AVC and H.264 AVC formats at 1920x1080 resolution using SBS Half Width "squished" L/R.
I have an Asus 3D Monitor and am using the Nvidia 3D Vision2 kit. Once the video was rendered, I popped it into the Nvidia 3D video player and it worked perfectly, overlaying both the L/R eye videos.
So I figured it would be a simple process to upload the video to Youtube and be able to view them in 3D with my Nvidia glasses using Youtube HTML5 3D with the newest version of Firefox. I have had no problem in the past viewing other 3D videos doing this.
The problem is when I view the video in FF on YT, I still see the L/R eye vidoes separated instead of overlayed (yes my emitter was bright green and glasses were powered on). I did some research and it seemed like I needed to use the WebM (VP8/Vorbis) instead of an mp4 or m2ts AVC file for an HTML5 video.
So after playing with a few converters I finally managed to convert the video to WebM. I popped the new video back into the 3D player and it worked fine again. After re-uploading to YT, I STILL only see the separate images instead of them being mashed together. I have yt3d:enable=true and yt3d:aspect=16:9 in the tags.
I also noticed when I look at Stats for nerds on a random HTML5 3D video I will see "mime type=video/webm; codecs=vp8.0,vorbis" but my video says "video/mp4;codes=avc1,mp4a".
Here is the YT video in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL4uOMOkOic&feature=html5_3d
Here is the actual WebM file I uploaded to MF (recoded at a low bitrate, only 50 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/download/c2aola7tgkst172/SC_Demo01.webm
It would be nice if someone could see if it works in their Nvidia 3D video player and if they have any success uploading it properly to YT as an HTML5 3D and playing it in FF.
At this point I've spent over several hours re-encoding and uploading and I'm fed up with trying anymore. I kind of want to know if this is a YT bug, FF bug, or what I'm doing wrong. It's hard to get support on this as Google just says, post all questions on Stack Overflow.

Hello,
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
- You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
Thank you.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I run FF pretty stock, no extensions. However I did start it in safe mode, but the video will not play at all in HTML5 mode, I have to switch back to a flash version.
I actually noticed, if I drag the raw .mp4 or .webm file directly into a new browser tab it just displays the separate L/R videos side by side so...I think this might not be a Youtube issue, but only either FF or video related now, since I can play the same exact file in the Nvidia 3D video player.
In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
- Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select Troubleshooting Information from the menu.
