My apologies if this has been asked before but i have spend an hour scanning the forum for this and cant find an answer. I have recently invested in an LG smart TV. Its 3D ready and amongst other things, you can convert 2D to 3D with a press of a button.
Its passive 3D as I understand it. Polarized same as you find in the Cinema. (I recently watched Gravity in 3D in the cinema and used my home LG 3D glasses.) I thought to convert some of my video to 3D using PWD 12 just to see the effect and find to my surprise (unless I am screwing this up) that PWD 12 doesnt support this widely used 3D standard, in use now by so many TV manufacturers and film producers. Am I correct in this assumption? If so, then its a massive disappointment.

thanks for your reply. the video clip by the way is PWD11 and in Korean I think, so not much help, but i think it shows how to output 3D. I am aware of how to do this. My question was actually about the 3D standards available. I just want to make sure I am not missing anything and that the popular Cinema and TV polarized format infact isnt available in PWD 12? In which case that is a major let down.

Understood. PD does support anaglyph 3D...

thanks, but i think you are probably not familiar with the 3D formats used on smart TVs by Panasonic, LG and Samsung. It isnt anaglyph of course. as I see it the much used format used by these manufacturers which is, as i mentioned, the same as used in cinemas, passive polarized 3D isnt supported by PWD 12. frankly i am amazed that such a good product should be lacking this standard. maybe it will be patched in future. pity.

Hi,
I have a Lg Passive 55" 3d capable tv and a sony Ps3 wiht the sony 3D capable monitor and I can output to either and view on either
in the
Side by side format so PD does support them..my monitor is Acer and supports 3D Anaglyph red/cyan and I can view on that also.
When outputting you just have to find the one suitable for the player.

PowerDirector supports micro-polarizer LCD, but the option only displays when the 3D display is connected & available.
I tried it with a Zalman 3D LCD before.

thanks for all your replies. I will conduct another round of tests. If PWD can do it then that will be great. But sofar I have only found the L to R etc which isnt the format I was looking for. thanks again.

I thought that the Lg worked on that principle. If that is not what you want, what is it?

Since your TV automatically does the conversion, why do you need to -- just have extra time on your hands? .

The LG supports a number of formats which arent available in PWD, unless, as indicated in one of the replies, it only works if a 3D display device is connected, which would be surprising. The auto conversion LG does is not very effective and I wanted to see if what PWD produces, which would then be recognized by the TV as a proper 3D video, would be better.

and Yes to your question.

Invii la domanda nel posto sbagliato. Questa è una discussione sui formati 3D PWD

Cosimo: You will have to contact Cyberlink support for help. We have nothing to do with the sales part of the programs. Also if you want to post a question about the use of the program, always start a new thread. Sorry.

Cosimo: Si dovrà contattare l'assistenza Cyberlink per un aiuto. Non abbiamo nulla a che fare con la parte di vendita dei programmi. Inoltre, se si desidera inviare una domanda circa l'uso del programma, iniziare sempre un nuovo thread. Mi dispiace. .

Have you just tried to convert a short video to 3D using the Power Tools and then output to a file using the Multi-view option? I'm sure your TV has a USB port so you can just output to a thumb drive. What do you get? .

Yes I tried that, and produced the half/half image which the TV did see, but when selected basically reverted to normal screen.
This is why I was trying to achieve the more common standard used when the TV converts (not always very well) to 3D. however I am going to run a number of tests on all formats, although i havent seen the multichoice format yet, rather than waste people's time here.
as i indicated, being retired i have plenty of time to do this.

Thanks for the idea.

You said " although i havent seen the multichoice format yet,"

It is Multi-View, not Multi-choice.

Try it and let us know how it works for you. Both of my options are active 3D so I can't play around with it.

Don't confuse 3D video formats with 3D DISPLAY technology (passive or active 3D). Not one and the same.

I have an LG 3D TV and it works fine with PD11. You MUST connect the computer to a 3D display using HDMI 1.3 cable.

If you are not using 3D TV as computer monitor, you then just output a 3D VIDEO format. Burn to disc and play it back with Bluray player. You must select the 'video' format on the TV to properly view it in 3D.

For example if you output your video in side by side 3D video, you should set the TV in side by side 3D mode. On my LG, I just press the 3D button on the remote and select 'side by side'.

Thanks Gary, You have come through again ! I'm sure that the OP will use that knowledge.

It help whens you have the Hardware in place to help solve the issue rather than just saying the software is deficient.
