Okay, I just finished this interesting script for watching Virtual Boy runs. When I first watched this run, I thought the whole 3D Glasses effect was pretty neat. I realize though that not everyone has access to 3D glasses (myself included, aside from the pair that ironically came from my VB Nintendo Power magazine, but I couldn't bother to fish it out), but I remembered about these stereo gifs that I've seen online before. So I thought "Hey, why don't I make an AVISynth script that alternates the view like in the gifs?".
..It took me the past three days ripping my hair out to get to work, but its finally finished!
Here's a proof of concept video of the first level of this run using the filter.

And here's the script for people that are interested.
source=ConvertToRGB(ffdshow_source())
ScriptClip("""
s=current_frame
x=7 #number of frames before view switch
a=float(Ceil(s/x))
b=float(a/2)
b==int(b) ? ConvertToYV12(ShowRed(source)) : ConvertToYV12(ShowBlue(source))
""")
I'm sure that it isn't optimal..I know some programming, but converting my knowledge of C into AVIScript proved to be exceedingly frustrating.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think!
I'm going to start working on an improvement to this script, which will intermediate the frames to give the "jerking" transition a smoother look. Wish me luck..
PS. I had a semi-humorous story posted before I revised everything..let's just say out of my tiredness and confusion I thought the published "monochrome video" had this filter already in place. :P
