I have the latest PowerDVD 13 Ultra (13.0.3520.5

. When I select the YouTube tab and search for yt3d, I see many YouTube videos that were meant for 3D viewing. (Typically, they are actually in side-by-side format.) But when I actually play them, PowerDVD does not detect their intended format, and instead 3D-ifies the side-by-side presentation.

PowerDVD correctly plays 3D Blu-Rays as well as my own 3D (side-by-side) videos taken with my LG Thrill and my earlier HTC Evo 3D. Occasionally, a home video is not automatically detected as 3D (e.g., if taken in very dim light), but I can then manually set the video to play in 3D. Unfortunately, there is no such option for YouTube videos.

How are other people getting YouTube yt3d videos to play correctly in 3D?

I found that I can force PowerDVD to interpret all video as side-by-side via a global 3D Display setting. This is not really a solution, though:

- I have no idea what this setting will do to Blu-Ray 3D movies, which are not in side-by-side format.
- This setting will obviously not handle any other 3D format on YouTube, such as top-and-bottom.

Ideally, PowerDVD would correctly detect the 3D format of YouTube videos; but if it cannot do that, I would settle for a 3D Display setting that applies specifically to YouTube rather than to all video playback.

I now realize that a 3D Display setting for all of YouTube would be unacceptable, because it would goof up display of all 2D videos on YouTube (the vast majority!).
