*Official* PowerDVD 12 Thread - Page 9

Finally upgraded from my 6 year-old TV, and joined the world of 3DTVs for the first time with a "Panasonic TC-P65VT50".

When I play a 3D Blu-ray through PowerDVD 12 Ultra (thru my Core 2 Duo + Geforce GT610 HDMI 1.4a HTPC), the VT50 never detects a 3D signal and never prompt me to switch to 3D.

If I press the "3D" button on the Panasonic Remote, then the TV will then give me two options as,
"2D -> 3D"
"2D"

I suppose that means I will be using the TV's abilities to convert 2D into 3D?

The ironic part is that if I play a 3D MKV file that I download from the Internet (with two video images side-by-side) using PowerDVD 12 Ultra, then the TV would detect a 3D signal and prompt me to switch to 3D.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong here?

Did you enable 3D output in the Geforce config utility?

I just run into some issues with a Netflix "Total Recall" BlueRay.
I have PowerDVD11. Is there any advantage upgrading to 12?
I am using it just for BlueRay playback, streaming audio directly to the receiver - so I am not using any audio decoding.

That was exactly it!!

Went though Nvidia's Stereoscopic 3D wizard in Nvidia's Control Panel, and all the 3D Blu-ray works like a Charm in PowerDVD 12.

Thanks babgvant!

Np.

NVIDIA GPUs prioritize gaming use cases over media consumption, so depending on your setup you may need to toggle the setting to play 3D BD in 3D and 2D BD in 2D.

Is there a way to get powerdvd 12 to ask to switch to 24fps for m2ts files? When I play blurays it ask me to switch but my m2ts files do not. The m2ts files play at the refresh rate windows is currently in.

Hi,

First sorry for my english. biggrin.gif

My PowerDVD 12 works perfectly, except for subtitles in 3D. Subtitles appear separate, as if the movie always stay running side by side, without turning the 3D effect!

Any solution?

Yea, I bought it this morning. The new audio delay option allowed me to fix the audio sync problems that have plagued me since I got my new TV in January. The speed is really impressive. WAY faster than any other version. I like it so far but I've only used it for an hour or so.

Does anyone know whether Power DVD 13 will play 3d video clips from 3d camcorders at their native frame rate- 60i for the JVC TD1? The big problem with Power DVD is that it will only play clips at 24p which means clips shot at higher frame rates can be choppy. It would be great if they fixed this problem in version 13.
If anyone knows the answer to this, who has 13, could you please post it?

30-day working trial is available (it won't mess up your existing version). Or if you post a short clip somewhere, I am willing to test it.

Update

Never mind. I found 4 clips here shot by JVC GS-TD1:

- MTS AVCHD 3D (1920x1080i60 AVC, Side by Side (Half)) TXP / TSP
- MP4 (1920x1080i60 MVC) THR / TSR.

I set "3D display" to "HDMI 1.4 enabled 3DTV (720p60)". All files played just fine in 3D. I also tried to play them back with PowerDVD 12 and TMT6, but failed.

Pretty impressive. smile.gif

While playing a 3D Blu-ray in PowerDVD 12 Ultra in 3D mode, if I press time seek (PgUp or PgDn key), I'm instantly kicked out to 2D mode. Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone try to see if they can duplicate this? Pressing FF and REV does not cause this problem. But I prefer to use time seek.

I'm using PowerDVD 12 Ultra, latest update 3/18/13, build 2625, and Nvidia 3D Vision 2 latest driver 3/25/13, version 341.22. I use Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, EVGA GTX 480 graphics card, and ASUS VG278H 3D 27" monitor.
