    Cant get my HTPC 3d Blu Ray to work

    Hi

    I have just built a new HTPC and it has a Samsung Blu Ray player. I have a 3d tv.

    I have installed Cyberlink Powerdvd 10 and Arcsoft TMT 3. in honesty they are both limited copies and before i go ahead and buy one i wanted to test them both to see which i prefer.

    I popped my shrek disc in and it plays on both in 2d but not in 3d.

    please help.
    I am the gadget man!

    Does the Shrek film have a 3D mode?
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Cant get my HTPC 3d Blu Ray to work

    You need to enable the 3DTV setting in PowerDVD (or TMT3) - I have set them both up fine, although find PowerDVD to be the better experience.

    You need to tell it to auto-select the mode based on source material and then tell it what type of 3DTV you have.

    Are the TV and VGA card you are using HDMI 1.4 capable? If so, do you have a receiver or any other HDMI equipment in the chain between them?
