Problem watching 3D with some players
Hi. I'm new to 3D and just received my new Dell XPS 17.
I have installed various players: PowerDVD, VLC, Windows media player & Nvidia's own 3D player - but the only one that seem to work is PowerDVD.
None of the others play e.g. MKV files in 3D, even nVdias own just give me side-by-side view of movies I try.

Could anyone tell me how/if I can do some config changes to allow these players to work with 3D?
I would assume Windows media player and nVidias at least to play all 3D movies without any problems, but I guess not.
At least I can watch most movies in PowerDVD but not all, and I don't want to rely just in that.

Is it a matter of configuration, codecs, or anything else? Please help.
