Sick of OEM Powerdvd 9 - cannot detect 3D monitor. What's out there that's better?

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
I searched for any string I could think of.. All I could find are many threads about people like me who are sick of powerdvd. But I couldn't find a solution / alternative.

My set-up:
HTPC with the nvidia 3D kit
Benq W600+ with the Acer .inf fix
3D works perfectly for nvidia 3D test app, as well as PC gaming so there's nothing wrong with my get-up

powerdvd 9 can work perfectly for 3D bluray ISOs for long periods of time and it suddenly decides it doesn't see a 3D capable monitor anymore - as is the case now mad.gif

EDIT: the problem is that when it DOESN'T detect my W600+ as 3D capable, in the 3D menu, I should be able to click the 'auto detect' button but that option is greyed-out.


Is there a better PC solution (hopefully freeware!) for playing 3D bluray?

A year or so ago, I recall trying a trial of powerdvd 11... I can't recall the specifics but if I ended up going back to 9, I logically had no better luck with that version

Any input is appreciated - thanks!

I have PowerDVD 10 Ultra and I can't get it to detect my ASUS VG278 as 3D-capable. So I echo your query: What works for playing 3D blurays?

thanks Denis - I'll try this when I get home tonight!

It says 'free to try' on the website.... is this a free trial? Or is it actually free?

It is a limited 15 day trial, it costs to keep it.

After I made this post, I have been able to get PowerDVD 10 Ultra Mark II to play Hugo in 3D using Nvidia Vision 3D glasses and a GTX 670 graphics card. I can not be certain, but I believe what made the difference is that I changed the following setting: In the settings dialog box, on the "Blu-ray disc" page, I selected "Allow connection when certification is invalid". After I did this, an error message was eliminated when the disc was loading, and the "3D" button down in the control panel at the bottom of the PowerDVD window was activated. By the way, I have the retail version of PowerDVD 10, not an OEM version.

did you try the Slysoft software to bypass the HDCP check?

No, I am playing the 3D Blu-ray disc in the optical drive without any modification to the contents of the disc.

As noted in the first quote above, I have gotten PowerDVD 10 to play a 3D Blu-ray movie disc successfully in 3D without the need for the Slysoft modifications.
