Request for 3D
jmone:
Yeah TMT is gone.....but, I'm a "MVP" over at Cyberlink (for their Video Editing package "Power Director") so I've asked for a key to PDVD and will see how well that goes integrating with MC with some scripting and I'll then update my thread on this.

You are the second person I have seen suggesting that Stereoscopic player isn't a good external player... I think people have had luck with Total Media Theater which I think is dis-continued and I don't know how to go about trying to acquire it.
Maybe I should just wait ... I could buy Stereoscopic player but then I suppose eventually I could discover why people don't seem to like it as an external player.
I don't mind waiting a bit ... And honestly I'm thrilled if somehow a bulb goes on and it seems adding this feature to JRiver will be worthwhile.

I think that if one rips 3D bluRays with MakeMKV, stereoscopic player may be just fine - provided you have Win8 or above:

--- Quote ---Fortunately if you want to test out how good the new Windows 8 stereo 3D features work you can do it using the popular Stereoscopic Player that since its version 2.0 has a “Quad Buffered DirectX” viewing method available that takes advantage of the Windows 8 stereoscopic 3D support. So if still you haven’t, you should go and give it a try if you’ve already switched to Windows 8, have in mind though that this output mode will not work on previous versions of Windows.

jmone has tried this in Stereoscopic player and it works outputting to a 3D projector as frame-packed 3D. I will have to upgrade from Win 7.

3D integration would be great but I would be happy with the folks at JRiver just making it super (I mean SUPER) easy to play the files with an external player. Even if it only worked on one specific 3d software package.
Instructions would look something like this:
1) buy, install and configure 3d software player X
2) rip movie to Y format
3) rename to Z filetype
4) somewhere in options you check a box that let's MC know that the 3d player was installed
5) play movie

fitbrit,
I've seen the quad directx playback from stereoscopic player on Windows 10 and to me it looks amazing if not better than my stand alone Blu Ray player. Also stereoscopic player lets you define all the keyboard keys which I think would be critical so they can be matched up to keys used by JRiver. Finally, unlike PowerDVD, Stereoscopic is very basic which I think is also a great plus if it was used as an external player... I actually don't know why people say it's not a good choice.

I've been playing with both and unsurprisingly, each have their pros and cons. I plan to do a write up over the next week about both and how to best integrate them with MC. That said, the best outcome is of course to have it natively supported in MC but that is way out of my influence... in Hendrik we trust. ;D
