3D Vision not Working for 3D Blu Ray
Hi, I have an Acer Aspire XC-605 with a GeForce GT 640 card on the latest driver and NVIDIA 3D Vision installed and working. My PC is connected to an Acer X110 Projector via VGA. All-in-all 3D Vision seems to be working nicely - it runs in the test app, it runs in games, it runs when I convert 2D DVDs to 3D in PowerDVD BUT .... it turns the screen black as soon as I try to play an actual 3D blu-ray in 3D. It will run it fine in Anaglyph or in 2D but with NVIDIA 3D Vision turned on the screen just goes black (with the sound still playing). Any ideas?

Do you have an High Speed HDMI cable ? [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison[/url] [img]https://s25.postimg.cc/3llotyuf3/cabo-hdmi-monster-cable-m2000hd-4k-3d-full-hd-24.jpg[/img]

No, he is using VGA as stated.The Acer X110 does not have an HDMI input [quote="jimmyclephane"]Hi, My PC is connected to an Acer X110 Projector via VGA. [/quote] Your problem is that it's not HDCP compliant. The powers to be, decided that they'd fuck over consumers to make themselves feel better about the losses that they suffer from people pirating movies. It's like beating your Dog, because you are mad at your Boss. HDCP does nothing to stop pirates, but is a PITA for consumers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection Buy a HDMI to VGA converter, as it converts the signal, it strips HDCP. Make sure that you read reviews and find one that works for Blu-rays and 120Hz Projectors in 3D.

If you want Full-HD picture without the fail-over to non HDCP-compilant mode. get yourself a HDCP stripper which does contain the HDCP master key;] you won't loose quality nor need to handle analog signal.

well yes, but you have to rip the movie to use stereoscopic player. [s]SlyFox[/s] SlySoft used to sell a decryptor, but their site was taken down in a lawsuit or a threat of one.

Hi guys, thanks for all the replies. I've tried a few different HDMI/VGA adapters and did find one that worked at 120Hz however even via that I still get the black screen. Funnily enough I DO get 120Hz 3D from Blu-Rays if I try an old release of PowerDVD 10 however that's pre-NVIDIA-3D so the emitter doesn't kick in. I found a couple of similar stories online where people ultimately fixed this by rolling back to NVIDIA's GeForce 270 driver however unfortunately the 270 version doesn't include my GeForce GT 640. Would a graphics downgrade to something like a GT 430 possibly work? Thanks, Jimmy

Hi y'all, Just to say that .... 1) The combo of GT 430, Driver 270 and PowerDVD 11 DOES work! ... however ... 2) I've found the chance to upgrade my projector to the Acer P1173 which has HDMI support. So, as I would otherwise live in fear of a mandatory upgrade that would break the setup, I'm gonna take it. Thanks again for all your help Jimmy

I hope you got a deal on the Acer P1173, it only has a 600X800 native resolution, like your former PJ. 1280x720 and 1920x1080 Projectors can be found cheap on sale. Anyways, glad that you found a solution. BTW, you'll find that the P1173 "is not" 3D Vision certified, just do an EDID override using the EDID from your X110 . http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html

You might also want to consider that older versions of PowerDVD do not work with newer Bluray movies, as in sometimes the Bluray is not even recognized :)
