I did mess with the depth. It seems like the 3d effects generated depend on the video being watched. When I watched the animated movie "UP" I could see the 3d effect. It was horrible though at greater depth, and virtually non-existent at lower depth!
I received my hardware 3d converter, and although there are no pop-out effects, it does work much better than I expected (and certainly much better than Power DVD Ultra 14). I didn't see what you described with the hardware 3d converter, i.e. a blind accentuation of the center of the screen. It seems to detect objects, perhaps algorithmically guess at which is the primary object and which ones are secondary, and selects foreground and background reasonably accurately. At the highest setting there is moderate pop-out. It's nothing like watching "Under the sea", but quite good nonetheless. Either PowerDVD Ultra doesn't work well at all, or I'm doing something wrong. So, until I stand corrected, that's my final assessment. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for that input. I understand that 2d-to-3d conversion is likely to be quite bad. Otherwise I'd expect there to be more buzz about it. I just want to see how bad it is for myself. I have a hardware 2d-to-3d converter in the mail as well. Would like to compare the hardware and software conversion approaches. If only I could get this program to work that is.

I am using the Benq w1080st (the short throw cousin of the Benq w1070) projector with my macbook retina pro running windows 8.1. The laptop has passed the hardware requirement test from Cyberlink. I'm using PowerDVD ultra 14. The projector is Full-HD and works at 144 Hz, and I am using active shutter glasses that work at 144Hz as well. I've been able to view native 3d blu-rays with no issues whatsoever and the image is fantastic. However the 3D conversion feature on PowerDVD 14 is one that I'd really like to use for 2d blu rays and rips thereof, but it doesn't seem to work. When I press the 3d button, I go get the slightly displaced overlay of two images, that is supposed to create a 3d image, but when I view using my glasses the images still flat. There is no 3d effect whatsoever.
What could I be doing wrong? Any input much appreciated. Thanks!
