The following is the code I got from Andres Hernandez [cybereality] for separating a .mpo file into 2 relative .jpeg files (left and right). The key point is to find the second jpeg’s header “FFD8FFE1” and this is my first time to touch jpeg’s header format. Kinda interesting.

According to Andres’s idea, we all hope everyone could keep sharing any informative stuff to help others’ work or research. And eventually, we could benefit from others’ great achievement :)

Cool, no problem man. It would be cool if you could upload the mac version on that same MTBS thread so it can help others. MTBS can host files, there is a small “browse for file” button under the post box, then click “add file”, so it is very easy to include files in a thread. I am sure there are other mac users that would appreciate it.
