I also have problem with PowerDVD while trying to play "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs" in 3D.
My setup:
Nvidia gtx460
newest nvidia drivers (266.5
win 7
powerdvd 10 mk2 ultra, latest update (10.0.1830.51)
Samsung 46c8000 3D TV + glasses
I did all standard steps:
1) set only Samsung 3D TV as active monitor
2) run Nvidia 3D setup wizard, and left HD 3D resolution (1920x1080, 24Hz)
3) did test of Nvidia 3D Play from there, and confirmed that it works with Tv 3D glasses
4) in powerDVD i selected "3D-Ready HDTV" as option, and turned off "True Theater"
When I run movie, I can see smeared picture due to *some* 3D effect, but even with glasses turned on it does not result in real 3D effect (ie its still "smeared" even with glasses) - appears like glasses and movie are not in sync. BUT glasses+TV do work on other cases, like in Nvidia 3D Play test, or using Nvidia video player, or even more complex, when running some game on TV in 720p mode - in ALL those cases glasses+TV+nvidia 3D Play work.
But in PowerDVD, when I try this movie (only 3D movie that i have so far), it result only in some 3D blurriness (picture separation which is not turned to 3D even when using glasses). BTW, on those links here it say to select "HDMI 1.4 3D ready TV ", but only option I see similar to that is "3D-Ready HDTV". I have no idea if that is due to change in PowerDVD option names since last post here, or from some reason PowerDVD is not offering that option to me, even if i have Win 7. Also, when i try "Auto Detect" for type of 3D display, I get "No 3D display".
I also tried with older version of nvidia drivers (260.99), but with same effect. Another potential issue was that I bought movie in US, and my TV is 'european' version, but i selected region in powerDVD to be US, and also verified in nvidia panel in "view HDCP status" and it show "your graphic card and display are HDCP compatible" - and of course, PowerDVD also play movie both in 2D and in (blurry) 3D, so HDCP compatibility is not a problem.
Since I already mentioned that TV+glasses+Nvidia 3D play work in other cases, I guess its something with PowerDVD, but at this point I have no idea what .
