Watch you tube in 3D

Like you can see the snapshot of the image above, you would see double images without any 3d glass.

How to enable 3d in You tube ?

This was answered by one of guys in You tube forums and this is how it goes like :

1. &yt3d:enable=true Enables the view mode. (obviously you’ve already discovered this)
2. &yt3d:aspect=3:4 Sets the aspect of the encoded video.
3. &yt3d:swap=true Swaps the left and right sources.

You will need to add this at the end of the url in address bar of the browser you are using i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihvhIPHiDNg&yt3d:enable=true.

This also enables few more options for choosing different colour scheme, parallel, cross eyed, mirror split along with left and right views only.

Now lets see if the You tube videos come up with a 3D icon like it came for HD videos. This will make it easy for users to find if they videos is available in 3D also.

Sherlock Codec Detective is one portable software that can help you find more information on the codec to find a way to fix it. Just download and run the application and it will list you all the drivers categorized into audio codec and video codec with status ( broken or ok ).

Sherlock Codec Finder

The codec details are exhaustive, but if you take a look closely all you need is to find the comany name and codec name and do a little search which should let you find the codec. In case you dont have a technical support which many of us have can help you troubleshoot it. As you can save the information of individual codec in text file, just email this file to Technical Support to speed up the process.

However this tool doesnt let you remove any of the entry in case you decided that the codec is not required.  There is another tool, Codec Sniper, which is mentioned on Ghacks with in depth detail, which allows you to remove the missing codec from system but as it says do it at your own risk.

Delete missing codec entry

Comparing both the Broken Codec finder tools, here is a small analysis

Sherlock  Codec Detective saves the list of cdoec in a better format than Codec Sniper. Sherlock codec detective breaks down in more readable fashion with broken codec at the end.  Infact this is more helpful for tech support guys. Here are the smaples

Sherlock Codec List

Codec Sniper List

Secondly  if you compare the images which finds codec list from both the tools, You would find the categorization done i.e. Categorized into Audio and Video Codecs and table like format for codec information looks much better.

But Codec Sniper has a unique delete option which can help you remove the broken codec from the system information. So the choice ultimately is with you to pic what works best for you.

You can find more details and download links @ Sherlock Codec detective and Codec Sniper detail pages.

How this is useful for you and me ?  Webcam Travels is used by people who are out  for tourism, holiday, vacation, leisure and travel and since these webcam screen shots are updated in every 15 minutes this is majorly helpful if you planning a safer road trip or a small tour package. You can see whats there and what it looks like even before you actually start traveling.

I tried searching to find something in India and bingo. There is one webcam which shows me the Mountains of Arunachala, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India,

Webcam Snapshot of Tiruvannamalai Mountains

So if you are planning to travel from lets say Chennai to Tiruvannamalai mountains, just type in  and you would get complete direction list.  The next obvious thing is you can get it printed by using the print icon on top right.

Tiruvannamalai Directions

My Idea on How Printed version of this can look like

However you will not see any pictures which I was actually expecting. I mean at least a printer version which shows all the webcams snapshot. That would make travel more exciting If I can show people where I am travelling. May be something like this.

Full-screen

Suggested Google Map printed preview

This would be actually useful in my opinion. Snapshots of all main places, small map preview. In fact I can just create my own travel guide and put this as reference. May be somebody can come up with a API which runs on top of this to create a version which I shows above. May be the Google maps  Team can think on similar lines.
