Request for 3D
WeeHappyPixie:
I would love native support for 3D MVC encoded MKV files. At present I use Stereoscopic player to play these and Hendrik was nice enough to separate the mkv and mk3d file formats to allow me to start playing an MVC file with Stereoscopic player from within MC20. Native MVC 3D would be the bees knees. I'm not really interested in menu support. When I want to watch a movie I don't want to be forced to watch all the guff the publishers throw down your neck with certain disks that you cant skip (Disney are the worst).

How hard is it to code native 3D mvc?
In business administration 101, "the sum of the parts is greater than the whole" meaning adding 3D support will enhance the video part of MC, no need to be picky about what is going to be included in the video package. MC for Windows , rather MC in general is not a new software. It is a "matured" media center software, for it to lack something like 3D is not good.
Next year, this topic will continue to come up.
Thanks
George

The way I see it, the last few years have been mostly video and ui upgrades (looking at the log for the new builds). These things aren't a priority for me but I know they are for many so I really don't make a big deal about it.

Think of what will make MC better overall, not whether you use the features or not.
Thanks.

I expect that what will happen is that if madVR ever adds support for 3D (it was planned at one point) then that will be your 3D support in Media Center.
Most people do not care about 3D. They don't own a 3DTV, or if they do (I do) they think it is a worthless gimmick.
There is very little media out there to warrant the development of 3D support.
I actually do enjoy 3D gaming, since I am able to adjust the depth and convergence settings manually to suit my own vision, but I cannot stand to watch 3D movies.
And though I enjoy 3D gaming, it's not something I make regular use of. Active 3D just has too many drawbacks, so I've been waiting to see whether passive 3D on a 4K display is any good. (since passive 3D on a 1080p display only has 540 lines of resolution per eye)
The "standard" convergence (I guess?) used for movies is wrong for my eyes, so everything looks as though I'm peering into a shoebox diorama. It makes the scale of everything seem very small, and there only seems to be two or three depth planes, rather than objects looking properly 3D as they do in games.

I like how "I don't like it" or "it bothers my eyes" always turns into "it is a worthless gimmick and nobody likes it".
