3D movies or videogames from MacBook Pro to 3D projector

I have:

• a 3D projector with: HDMI, VGA, S-VIDEO
• one of the first MacBook Pros, with a DVI port (with an ATI X1600)
• DVI to HDMI cable (and a DVI to VGA)
• Active glasses, not the red/green (anaglyph) ones

I would like to be able to watch 3D movies being played on the MacBook and watched on the projector.

Question is:

• Is the hardware I have enough?
• If so, what software do I need and what video format (.mp4, .mkv, etc.)?

I downloaded the bino player but seems to be for the red/green kind of glasses.

Solution 1:

No - according to the specifications for that projector - they support set top boxes only and not computer playing DVD.

The player they provide runs on Windows and basically draws sequence of frames at double refresh rate so that each eye sees every other frame (they call it side by side) to create the illusion of a 3D scene. There is also reference to 60 Hz refresh rate for over/under (the side by side calls for 120 Hz refresh on the video source)

Your mac can certainly run windows in emulation or in Boot Camp and make use of the provided software. It's not clear if there isn't Mac equivalent software or it's just not linked from this manufacturer's web page, but your display's Dual Link DVI horsepower is certainly fast enough to drive the display in question fast enough to meet the hardware requirements listed for 3D projection.
