Thanks David. It will play the movie, the problem is I cannot select a 3D source format - the option is greyed out.

If I rename the file extension to .mkv, the menu appears.

Hello,

It seems we lost support for the .mk3d format with the release if PDVD14, and that continues with 15. Can we expect this release to support this format anytime soon? The wrapper isn't different from MKV, it's just 3D enabled.

Cyber guys? Lil' help please!

Thanks,

J.

For me the patch fixed 3D playback. I can watch movies in 3D using NVidia GTX video card.

The problem now is that PowerDVD 15 does not support the mk3d file extension. It can playback 3D mkv files, but not mk3d.

Can somebody from Cyberlink acknowledge this and let us know if this will be supported again in the future?

Thanks Allen. The BETA patch allows me to turn on 3D!

The problem I am facing now is that PDVD doesn't recognize the source file format. This is an MK3D file HSBS. In older versions of PDVD you could manually adjust the source format, but that option is greyed out.

I can confirm the 3D is working because it works when I choose to covert 2D --> 3D on a regular 2D movie.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again,

Jason

Hello,

Just upgraded to Windows 10. I have the latest NVidia drivers and PowerDVD 15 Ultra.

Before the upgrade, I was using Windows 7 and PDVD 13. Everything was great.

Now when I try to enable 3D playback, I get an error:

"PowerDVD could not enable stereo 3D"

When I use the NVidia Wizard, everything looks good. I can see the 3D effects in the setup wizard.

I'm using:

Windows 10 (with CU)

NVidia GTX 465 with driver 353.62

PowerDVD 15 1804.58

On a side note, I cannot close PowerDVD once it is launched. I need to use task manager.

Any help is appreciated.

Quote: To directly launch Cinema mode, you may try to open
$install_path\Movie\PowerDVD Cinema\PowerDVDCinema13.exe

By passing the PDVDLP.exe could have some side effects of missing features. But it does no harm to your computer so you could have it a try.

Thanks Mike. I did actually do that and it launches OK, but my big problem is that the Cinema mode client doesn't use the advanced settings of the full client (particularly Audio delay settings).

Any help is much appreciated.

I have asked this question in another thread, but nobody seems to be answering... My experience is that PDVD13 in Cinema Mode does not use the advanced settings in the native UI.

For example, if I set and Audio delay in native mode, it does not work when launched in Cinema Mode.

Can anybody confirm this behaviour?

Hi Again,

If anybody has any recommendations for either problem, it would be greatly appreciated. The more immediate problem is the Cinema Mode player not respected advanced settings (particularly audio delay settings).

Has anyone else run into this?

Hello,

When I launch directly into Cinema mode using the command line, the interface does not appear to respect the "Advanced" setting changes made in the full UI (in particular audio delay etc...). Is there a way to fix this?

Also, when using DVDLaunchPolicy with the Cinema mode switch in the command line, it seems to first load the native UI and then relaunch the Cinema mode interface. This causes problems with Media Browser because when the native interface application closes, it triggers the MB to think the playback is finished. Is there a way to launch directly into Cinema Mode?

TIA,

Jason

Hi Michael,

First - thanks for the reply. Its great to see such a quick response from a member of the Cyber team. Kudos.

I did see the sticky. The problem (for me) was that the actual executable on my install is called "PDVDLP.exe" and not "PowerDVDLaunchPolicy.exe". I did figure this out on my own, but just confusing when you're trying to troubleshoot.

I actually tinkered enough that I could get PowerDVD to launch by directly calling "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD13\Movie\PowerDVD Cinema\PowerDVDCinema13.exe" from Media Center. All works, except using this method PowerDVD is not MC aware (no back button, volume control etc...)

When I received your post, I tried using PDVDLP. It launches, but the application ends up minimized (because of Media Browser). I fumbled around enough to get past that problem, but PowerDVD is still not MC aware.

Is there a way to launch PowerDVD from inside MC that will make it aware of MC?

Thanks again,

J.

I should actually further clarify -

I am trying to launch PowerDVD from Media Browser in MCE. If I use the plugin that was installed by PowerDVD, it works. To use it with Media Browser, you need to supply a command line.

I am trying to find out if this is possible. I want to start the MCE plugin from a command line.

TIA,

Jason

Hi There,

I am trying out PowerDVD 13 Ultra (trial version). When I launch from Media Center, there is no sound. If I launch directly from the desktop, it plays back perfectly.

Can anybody help?

Also, I am wondering if there is a way to launch PowerDVD directly into Cinema mode from the command line and force it to full screen.

TIA,

Jason
