I just installed a new Epson 5030UB projector and Panasonic DMP-BDT330 Blu-Ray player. So far the 3D on the Blu-Ray disc I've tried looks great but I see there is a lot of interesting looking content on YouTube and my DMP-BDT330 can access it. I tried to download a few files on my Mac and copied them to a flash drive. The first one I tried, LG 3D Demo - Stratos (Space), played perfectly in gorgeous 3D. I was very happy. The second one I tried, Americas National Parks 3D 1x02 Yosemite National Park, simply displays the raw 2D side by side image. I set the player to side by side mode, but no change. Setting the projector to 3D kicks it into 3D mode, but I still only see the two side by side images, just brighter.
I next tried viewing them directly from YouTube using the YouTube app. One demo video worked perfectly, displaying a big snake about a foot from my face. But all the others I tried only displayed the raw side by side images.
So I know 3D can work, but not why some do and some don't. I wonder if anyone here is using a similar configuration to successfully view YouTube 3D or is YouTube still not quite up to the task? I don't see any options for selecting 3D modes when using the Blu-Ray player to access these videos.
