Don't go into too much trouble fo me, Jeff (and your input is very much appreciated).
Argl checked my msi gt 70 which is an ivy bridge i7 with hd4000 and gtx 680m. Don't think that's going to work either as I believe intel never fixed ivy bridge proper 23.976 (which was a known bug).

Thank you very much for looking into this, Jeff. Might be onto something regarding the nuc not being up to the task. I did sent Cyberlink a dx file when they were looking into troubleshooting with me but maybe they didn't pick up that I have an i3. Might give it a try with my i7 asus laptop (which has an integrated nvidia card as well).
Thanks for pointing me towards the reset dialog setting  Nuc is on 23p and no msg popped up when playing a 3d iso (mounted with virtual close drive).

In my nuc the refresh rate is also set to 23 and I tend to use virtual clone drive as well (also.using,complete copies of the disc).
PDVD never gives any kind of notification if I want to keep the refresh rate.
What I'm puzzeled about is that when playing a 2D blu ray iso in the general setting/info it displays movie playback at 23.976. Not the case when playing a 3D iso.
If however I chose pcm audio there are no playback issues. Unfortunately not an option as I intend to move to Atmos shortly, enforcing bitstream audio (also letting my Anthem doing the audio decoding has a significant impact on the sound quality).

As a test I tried something different . With tsmuxer
I rebuilt the 3D iso of Mad Max fury road and changed the fps from 23.976 to 24 fps. I would assume no more skipped frames during playback, right? Wrong, occur at exactly the same timeframes. Btw iso is fine as plays flawless on a med 800x3D. This movie has dolby atmos encoding so makes me wonder if this causes some playback issues....
Btw looking into de general settings of PDVD during playback a 'normal' 3D 23.976 is played back at 23.0 frames. The rebuilt mad max indicates 24.0 frames.

To provide a latest update on this, the ticket has been closed by Cyberlink. The nuc is connected to an Anthem avm50v3D which has a vxp scaler. Regarding 2D blu ray movie iso PowerDvd 15 indicates output of 23.976 and obviously have no problems at all. I consider the 3d playback probs the result of a lousy implementation.

Hi nullack. Indeed ticket is still open and earlier today I have received an update from tech support, in a nutshell 'Thank you for comments and recommendations...forwarded to development for future product improvement'.

Afraid so...and very unfortunate as the picture quality is stunning..

No more news from tech support so I guess that's it...

You are welcome MarkTom.
Follow-up from tech support doesn't resolve my (and assume many others...) issue. If the 3d display natively supports 24p then PVDV will output 24p despite the 3D blu ray spec is 23.976. Is does so to be more compatible with your display.
They propose to reach out to 'reclock' and figure out how to use it enabling bitstreaming...
Don't get it that PDVD can't include a 1080p 23.976 output mode. After all TMT6 and any decent 3d hardware media player does that.

Hi Hicham,
Logged a trouble ticket. As a test I installed reclock to reframe to 23.976 and changed pdvd audio out to pcm. This works flawless but I do want to bitstream and let my Anthem avm50v 3D decode the audio.
Thank you for your follow-up.
Kind Regards,
Stef

Some more testing....
Change audio from uncompressed hd to lpcm: 3d flawless (but I don't want that).
Change video output to 720p60Hz with uncompressed hd: 3d flawless (but I don't want that).

Hi All,
Having an Intel Nuc i3 running windows 8.1, I use TotalMediaTheatre to watch 3D iso. Software works flawless but as known is no longer officially supported. Took the plunge to switch to PowerDVD Ultra 15 (thank you, Halloween promotion) and every single 3D iso I tested skips a frame about every 40 seconds. To my understanding this could be caused by 3D encoding 23.976 versus 24 output by PowerDVD, correct? Any feedback or advice to resolve this? I have disabled all TrueTheatre enhancements.
Thank you very much.
Stef
