Have you made a decision yet?

In PowerDVD, switch to Cinema Mode and see if your remote has the functionality you are looking for. Yiou can set the cinema mode to automatically detect 2d vs 3D and play the video in the appropriate setting.

Cinema mode is designed to work via a remote. .

Sorry, I don't get the same issue you do so I can't offer any more suggestions. Are you playing to a 3D TV that has setting to enable/disable/auto detect? .

Hi, Welcome to the forum. It is always better to start your own thread. You have just the opposite problem than the original poster in this thread so it is doubtful that any suggestions made to him would be useful for you. If someone replied, it would cause confusion about whom the replay was addressed.

Please start your own thread and tell us what the Cyberlink 3D tool tells you about your set up. I bet it is how the computer display is set up.

Go here and run the test: http://www.cyberlink.com/stat/bd-support/enu/index.jsp .

Yes, I watch movies on 3D TV Sony 55W808 and he (TV) have a autodetection setting... When I set in PowerDVD the Playback Mode in "3D" and set Source Format in "Auto Detect Format" all my movies playing in 3D. When I set in PowerDVD Playback Mode in 2D, then all my movies playing in 2D (3D BD iso also).

Have you checked to make sure your TV is working properly? Do you have a 3D computer monitor to try to see what happens when you switch. .

I'm sure that my TV works properly. TMT in that case work fine, but he don't want adjust right refresh rate at 3D mode...

What is TMT (as you think the definition is)? Arcsoft? What has that to do with this program? Now are you saying there is a problem with refresh rate?

If two different programs have issues with playing your content, you should look elsewhere -- hardware?

Did you run the test? We can't help if you don;t provide enough information. .

Yes, TMT this is Arcsoft. No, refresh rate is a problem of TMT. But in TMT auto detect 3D/2D works excelent. At now I have this:
- TMT right detect 2D/3D, but wrong set refresh rate
- PowerDVD right set refresh rate, but wrong detect 2D/3D

Quote: Hi to all!
At now i try to make a choice between PowerDVD and TotalMedia Theatre as external player for XBMC. I try a PowerDVD and everything works like i want, but i don't know and doesn't found some features:
- how can i switch playback mode between 2D and 3D from keyboard shortcut (bind this to my mce remote)? In TMT6 autodiscover movie type works properly and when i run 2D movie 2D playback mode is activated, but when i run a 3D movie, then 3D playback mode is activated. In PowerDVD if I choose 3D playback mode, then all the movies, and 2D inclusive, playing in 3D mode
- how can i close PowerDVD window after playback stop? In TMT6 for this i use command prompt param.

Sorry for my bad English

My problem are same.
If 3D is switched off: all videos 2D, if 3D is switched on: all videos 3D (BD & BD3D) - independently from source.

In my system are: ATI HD6450 (with 1.4 hdmi), 1.4 hdmi cable, LG 42LA660S, Windows 7 Media Center

This issue has been reported ages ago and I have no idea why Cyberlink isn't fixing it.

While PowerDVD is able to switch automatically between 2D and 3D when playing files (for example SBS or T&B), it's still unable to switch automatically to 3D or 2D when playing 2D or 3D bluray, even if the option to switch automatically is selected.

If at least there was a hotkey to enable 3D, it would help but even that isn't possible.

Cyberlink, what's difficult in looking if the \BDMV\SSIF folder is present, and switch to 3D if it is (as this is a 3D bluray) or switch to 2D if it isn't (as this would indicate a 2D bluray)?

Or at least, please give us a hotkey so we can toggle between 2D and 3D with a remote (Harmony, iRule, etc).

TMT is able to switch automatically according to the blyray type (2D or 3D) so it's clearly possible.

Please do something about this!

Emmanuel,

I just want to remind you that this is a USERS group and have no inside connection to Cyberlink. Seldom are there Cyberlink personnel visiting this site.

If you feel strongly about the request (and you can get others) to write to Cyberlink, that will perhaps convince them to make changes.

The last person who visited this thread befoe you was 7 months ago so there may not be a great demand. Perhaps an bother? .

Thanks Steve.

I officially made that request a few years ago.

It was acknowledged by Michael from Cyberlink (who does read these forums, or at least used to at the time).

I made the same request with every new release, and after a while I gave up.

I wanted to post here mostly to explain that it was indeed an issue, an acknowledged one, and one that Cyberlink has clearly no intention to ever fix.

I guess that given the slow death of 3D less and less people care about this.

You are probably right, there is probably little demand for this, but for those like me who actually use 3D, it's one of the most annoying things about PowerDVD. The other most annoying thing is its incompatibility with the MCE remote which forces to make a special programming for it, but that's a discussion for another thread

By the way, I just created a new official customer support request about this, QuestionID = CS001454838, I'll update this thread with the reply I get.

I suggest anyone else with the same issue creates a request ASAP.

I don't think it's thanks to me, but after asking to escalate my request to add it as a suggestion for the development team, this is finally solved in PDVD 15! You can now set 3D options to play 3D blurays in 3D and 2D blurays in 2D! That's really great news and it makes PDVD much more usable.
