commented on youtube:
hi! very nice stuff! nice to see you are gaining experience. I liked your flying/3d text, however please if you are replacing the background replace it with something 3d- atm it looks weird like screen depth or something like that, also I have noticed your webcams are not 100% aligned properly vertically- I suggest scotch taping several pencils/rulers to em to hold em in place. make more vids!!
I like the direction you are headed, keep going!
EDIT: just did a cool thing- on the video preview image above, I went crosseyed, then I went crosseyed again to see the 3d image

Great video, very helpful
...but ...argh! The old toe-in thing!
I'm outnumbered by people who advocate toe-in. Would it be helpful if I tried to state my case against it?
(a poll might be interesting too, just for fun)

here's the poll]

Cool tutorial but I was having problems seeing the 3D by free-viewing. Something seemed off.

wait they were toed in? so that's why I felt uncomfortable watching it- definitely make it parallel. For instance all of the footage taken with the minoru3d is parallel and it looks swell! -though yeah the disadvantage of the minoru3d is that you can't adjust the distance/stereo separation, however the advantage is that alignment is no longer an issue.

Try downloading and watching with your S-3D setup:

The bubble blowing video on my "S-3D Shenanigans #1" video was toed in and it looks great, but everyone has different tastes.
EDIT: man the sound stinks on the YouTube version!

yeah I did (both videos)- your second one didn't look right either crosseyed or via the iz3d- could be the background or the toe in- try starting simple- no fx, parralel.

Here are some test videos:

These are the left and right videos put into Stereo Movie Maker and then compressed as MP4.

yeah these seem better than the first vid (couldn't see the difference between 1 and 2 though) - also too bad there's no sound. it could have been the background you added that interfered with the 3d

Thanks for testing them out, I left the sound out to make it render quicker, if you want sound I can render them again.
Strange, on my DIY Planar setup test #2 looks flat and #1 is 3D.
I need to do one more test, I'm going to use test #1 and put it into Sony Vegas again and render it, maybe the Sony codec is causing to problem, but I think you are right that the background FX is what is messing the 3D up.

Thanks again!
EDIT: I found some vertical alignment problems, will fix for the MTBS edition!

What computer software and or webcam can I purchase to record for long periods? I currently have a webcam however it does not record for extended periods of time. What I need to do is to record for 8 hours or more. I am looking for either a program that I can use with my current webcam OR a new webcam that comes with software that will allow me to record for long periods of time?

I think most modern webcams can record as long as you have hard drive space.
Of course it's better not to record onto your C: drive if you can avoid it.

Now I remember, I gave up trying to make the tutorial itself in 3D.
Here is the final version (not in 3D):
