First off, what graphics card driver version are you using?

Yes. The 3D icon looks flat when 3D option is off and looks isometric when it is on.

Quote: how do I know it's the actual 3D image or is the 3D conversion that PowerDVD is doing??

If the Blu-ray disc you have bought specifies that it is 3D then you will be watching the actual 3D that is encoded on the disc. You'll see a double image on your screen when not wearing your 3D glasses.

Incidentally what TV/Projector are you using?

Hi Sean, thanks for taking some of your time answering my question! Well, my driver version was the last one: 347.09 I think, but the guys from Nvidia told me to downgrade it to 344.80, so that's the one I have right now. The TV Im using is the Samsung UN65ES800.

I am kind of new at doing this htpc thing. So what if you put a regular BD and enable 3D? Should I notice a big difference? And I forgot to tell you, but I didn't want to click on enable 3D cuz everytime I did that, the image was taking to long to jump from one frame to another. But today that I was playing with the resolution and the frame rates, I was able to fix this. I needed to set up my 3D resolution as 1080p at 24Hz. It looked that the movie was processed at 60Hz and then showing the images at 24Hz.

But I think it is working now, if you say that I need to click on "Enable 3D" even for 3D discs...then I am good to go! For 3D content that I have downloaded, I have to do the same thing right? The program will never show the 3D content unless you enable it? On some other forums I read that the 3D button was actually the conversion powerDVD does.

I'm glad you got it working.

Steer clear of the Geforce 347.09 driver as nVidia broke 3D Blu-ray playback support in PowerDVD 14 as you may already be aware.

As far as 3D goes on a regular non-3D blu-ray, I personally don't think it's all that good and doesn't look very 3D to me. It ends up causing a mild rippling effect which makes my eyes hurt. Steer clear of the fake 3D option.

But yes you need to enable 3D option in PowerDVD 14 for 3D Blurays otherwise they will only play in 2D.

I wasn't aware of that. So I should never install a new driver then?? Just keep the same one I have now?? Do you have any link where it explains why NVIDIA broke the 3D support on PowerDVD???

No one knows why it was broken and nVidia haven't offered any explanation as to what went wrong.

Many users have complained about it in the Guru3D forums, nVidia forums and in this forum, as shown here: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/42002.page

It's generally a good idea to update to the latest drivers, particularly if you are a gamer as newer drivers fix older issues, but if you don't need to update to the latest then you're better off with an older driver if it means 3D Blu-ray playback is working. Unfortunately nVidia have dropped the ball recently with their 3D movie playback support and have introduced bugs with 347.09. Hopefully they'll fix it next driver release as this is becoming quite annoying.

Im sorry Sean, I forgot to thank you last week!! I really appreacite your help, now I can go on watching my movies with no frustration I am a gamer, but gladly any of the games I am playing requires the latest drivers so I'll be keeping the 344.80 driver version for a while! Thanks a lot!!
