I have an HTPC which I am trying to use to play 3d mkvs into my Sony HW40ES 3d-capable projector - direct from htpc to projector via hdmi 1.4 cable. My system passes the CyberDVD BD 3D tester (log below).

So I have a 3D MKV (ripped from a 3D Blu Ray) of for example Finding Nemo. What am I supposed to do to get this playing in 3d? If I play it and do nothing I get a 2d image. If I hit the 3d-button the playback becomes very choppy, the image becomes kind of toed-in, and the verticals become wobbly. If I then enable 3d on the projector I get weird effects of the left and right halves of the image being stretched out and overlayed over each other. Nothing is approaching 3d.

I appreciate I may just be doing it wrong - am I? Is there an idiot's guide for 3d or some sort of built in basic test to get it going?

Thanks!
