AviSynth

• 1). Download the latest version of AviSynth to convert your 2D movies to 3D movies. Point your browser to sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/ and click the link for the latest version to begin the download and installation.
  
  
• 2). Open the downloaded file. Click on the file name or icon of the program. This will open the program in a text editor. AviSynth is not a program that has a user interface or screen. It works behind the scenes of your movie player. Therefore, opening the file will reveal the code that allows the program to function.
  
  
• 3). Change "Avatar_Trailer_HD.avi" in the code to the name of the movie file that you would like to convert from 2D to 3D. Delete "Avatar_Trailer_HD.avi" and type the movie file name in its place.

• 5). Open a media player that is compatible with .AVS files.
  
  
• 6). Open the movie that you would like to watch in 3D in the media player. The movie will now be in a wider format. The image will appear slightly blurred because there are now multiple layers overlapping each other in the movie. This creates the 3D capabilities. You will require 3D glasses for viewing.
