Driver works for everything else, just PowerDVD has issues with it. I tried WinDVD trial, and 3D blu-ray works there. On other note, I feel 3D support is seriusly lacking, it's not exactly new technology, its been out for 6 years now, and to have only 2 software players available to play it, not to mention driver support that sux... it's strange buisness tactics to say the least. WinDVD has some sort of its own driver aparently, that uses graphics card 3D features, I think PowerDVD should also make something like that for PDVD 15. Not to stop working every time new drivers come out.
It's also the reason why you get ocasional jitters and freezes, as it needs to realign itself and synch, its why all hardware players are always better.. And like you mentioned, there is no other software player for 3D blurays, I'm guessing because its very hard to make. So PowerDVD is the only one atm.
Since Windows 10 are just around the corner, and preview is already around for months, I would like to point out that despite nvidia has 3D Vision drivers for Windows 10 already, Powerdvd 3D movie playback doesn't work in Windows 10, while games in 3D and other 3D apps do work. As we are all gonna upgrade to windows 10 in a few months for free, I would like to know if were getting windows 10 support any time soon. Now if i wanna watch 3D movies ill have to uninstall Windows 10 preview, and install old 8.1 again, just for that Everything else works already.
There is still some flickering and ghosting, but greatly reduced, movies are now watchable, what is more important nvidia adressed the issue and mentioned some existing ones in their release notes.

New driver 344.75 adresses the issue and there is an improvment in 3D bluray playback.

3D Vision with Nvidia, and 3D tv with HDMI 1.4 for 3D bluray playback.
3DTV Play licence is not needed for PowerDVD as far as i know, its using 3D Vision... but none of them work properly with it on 3D TV since the 337.50 drivers and up anyway, that is the issue were adressing, and nvidia and cyberlink keep asking us dumb questions and don't even confirm there is an issue witch blurry ghosting and motion sickens playback. This is going on for 6 months now, we are angry and done with both, so AMD and WinDVD are recomended for 3D bluray playback - end of story.
Stereoscopic 3D vision works without 3DTV Play it detects your 3D display.
It's a driver issue as Total Media Thater doesn't work either, nvidia not stating this as a known problem is, because they don't care about community or their producst working. WinDVD works it seems, because it does't realy use nvidia 3DTV Play and 3D vision technology, it's probably similar to TriDef, it uses its own 3D software driver.
Nothing fixed with new drivers.
Same flickering exists in gaming too if you roll back to 337.50 driver it works fine, but driver doesnt work with newest games. Using TriDef flickering is gone, or older driver... so its nvidia fake 3D driver issue, and PowerDVD must be also using it, WinDVD doesn't, so it works fine. I tested it several times.
A driver did get released, but the issue hasn't been fixed. This driver is mostly just optimised for the new COD, nothing new for 3D VISION and 3DTV PLAY.
1. 3D
2. 1920*1080 60Hz in 2D, and 1920*1080 24 in 3D (whenever i wanna watch or play in 3D I switch my desktop resolution to 3D mode when I enable stereoscopic view in nvidia control panel)

I would like to point out again, that everything was working fine on 337.50 nvidia drivers, issue started with 337.88 and up... it's not realy PowerDVD issue, its nvidia 3DTV PLAY issue, there is a post on geforce forum that they identified the issue and are trying to fix it. Tho I've tested Corel WinDVD pro and 3D there works flawless on latest nvidia drivers...
It's just annoying that this has been draging for more then 6 months, but like i said its not powerdvd exclusive issue, as games have same problem in 3D.
Exact same issue, and its been confirmed on geforce forums and here... it can be fixed by older drivers, before the introduction of "fake 3D drivers", but who wants to keep switching drivers back and forth to play games and watch movies?
I can confirm the exact same problem for 6 months, the last drivers that work normay are nvidia 337.50 after that 3D bluray is totaly unwatchable, and I cant belive you can't reproduce this issue as it's well known issue with 3D TV's and it has been reported several times on geforce forums and here. Exact tv that I use is LG smart 3D tv 47lm649s and I'd like to point out that on older nvidia drivers (337.50 and older) did in fact work, and still work flawless, issue is with all the later drivers. Now normaly this wouldn't bother me I would just keep the old drivers, but unfortunatly, new games don't work with them. I know its nvidia's fault for breaking the drivers but cyberlink should press on them to fix it, as both products are required for watching 3D bluray. My graphic card is geforce 770 GTX. Problem with 3D bluray is as mentioned, flickering, blurry playback , totaly unwatchable as it causes motion sickness, picture in motion looks like its comming in and out of focus, depth is all screwed up.... For 6 months now we have been trying to get some responce on this issue from nvidia, and now you post here: you cannot reproduce this issue? There are a lot of cusomers of cyberlink who use nvidia graphic cards , and many of them have issues with 3D playback... at least you can foward the reported issue from your customers to nvidia, as apparently they do not listen to the community feedback of their own here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/767088/3d-vision/broken-3d-bluray-playback-since-fake-3d-driver-introduced-unfixable-/
.... And if there is a work around , please post it here... as this is getting frustrating. Only way i can watch 3D bluray is on integrated intel card, but I don't want to keep pulling my HDMI 1.4 cable in and out switching between cards. This is a disgrace on nvidia part and it needs to be fixed!
