Contrary to almost every post on this thread, I presume less people know that the almost 80% of SBS 3D format movies floating on internet for downloads is converted from 2D Blurays. So its absolutely wrong to say that 3D SBS can be ripped from 3D blu rays only. Any 2D movie can be converted to 3D SBS format to be enjoyed on any 3D TV or 120Hz 3D Monitor with regular polarized glasses, so its not a hoax and the information is not flawed.
Now the question is how. Two straight ways to do it. the hard way, by using predefined scripts and editing application like Virtual Dub or by few already existing softwares in the market that does the same job.
I have done the hard way, even though I do not own a 3D TV ..
, but its just me ..... to have my hand in experiments to almost everything that deals with Audio/Video.
So ok back to how to do it. I would not be describing the entire procedure here, but will point you in the right direction (and probably will prepare a proper guide as to how to do to, in a similar fashion, that I have explained how to backup BD in mkvs in my sig) ....... anyway,what you need is a programm called
AviSynth, its free so download via the link I have provided.
Once you download it and install it dont bother to run it ... AviSynth acts as a codec, allowing media viewers/players to understand AviSynth scripts, in the form of AVS files.
Now its time to get the script that does the magic work. Its free again download it from below ..

Open the script in notepad and edit line ..
video2d = DirectShowSource("Avatar_Trailer_HD.avi")
change the
("Avatar_Trailer_HD.avi") to the name of your movie that you wanna convert. Save the movie file in
.avs extension in the same location as is your movie file.
that's it open your media player like windows media player, open the .avs file (not avi) and you should see the movie playing in SBS 3D format. All you need is compatible monitor (120hz) and 3D glasses.
Now remember this is run time conversion, so you need a decent PC to play the movie. Also since this is run time conversion you have not yet saved the file (so that you can play it on your TV as well)
For that you need an application called Virtual Dub ..... how to save the file is something I will let you all figure out (Googlesssssss) ...... or may be as I said I will include it in a complete Guide I will prepare for the same ... until enjoy run-time SBS 3D.
