Piranda 3-D +2D hybrid disc and my Acer 27 inch monitor
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 10:51 am
I wasn't sure about where to put this particular topic, in the hardware section or here so bear with me if I am in the wrong discussion section.
I've just replaced and external Buffalo USB 3.0 external Blu-ray writer for a plextor USB 3.0 external Blu-ray writer, because the Buffalo shipped with CyberLink power DVD 9 that needed an £80 upgrade to version 10 on top of the nearly £200 the drive cost!
Anyway plextor cost £50 less , also had eSATA as well as USB 3.0 connectivity, and a on and off switch (meaning you didn't have to manually unplugged it...) and last but not least its didn't BSOD Windows 7 64-bit each time the PC started with the Blu-ray drive connected. so buyer beware of the Buffalo drive!
Anyway getting back onto point, I get a blank screen but I can hear the optical audio perfectly when playing the above hybrid Blu-ray movie in 3-D via the CyberLink power DVD 10 version bumbled and upgraded via their website.
So I need some input as to whether hybrid 2-D/3-D Blu-ray discs have an issue with Nvidia 3-D vision hardware, especially when using CyberLink power DVD 10? The CyberLink support and forum suggest dropping down to 60 Hz and rerunning the Nvidia 3-D setup again but as you can imagine that had no effect at all.
my hardware and software also passes with flying colours their Blu-ray 3-D adviser software which you have to send as an attachment with their service request.
As this is the only Blu-ray 3-D disc presently own and having successfully use the monitor only for 3-D gaming I am reluctant to buy another hybrid Blu-ray 3-D movie, namely "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Blu-ray 3D + 2D Blu-ray)" until I can confirm and sort out this issue.
Am I missing the obvious, as you get two pairs of anaglyph glasses in the box in For the second featurette Blu-ray disc I've I purchased the wrong type of Blu-ray disc?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
PS I just remembered, I'm using a dual link DVI-D VGA connection to my PC so has this issue got to do with HDMI rights management and the associated obvious non-use of that video /audio from my Nvidia graphics cards?
