Shadowplay fix to record in 2D while gaming in 3DVision+(Utube 3Dmeta)
I have been looking for this solution for so long but these steps appear to work. Thank you Zloth. [quote="Zloth"] 1. Disable 3D Vision and rebooted. 2. Once I was back in, recorded my desktop. Came out in 2D, which it pretty much had to do with no 3D Vision. 3. Enabled 3D Vision. 4. Started up the 3D Vision test application and recorded. It came out in 2D. 5. Started up Steam and ran Dead or Alive then recorded. It came out in 2D as well. Maybe the quick little recording of my desktop did it? [/quote] If this is a bug please do not fix it Nvidia, as there appears to be no other solution with shadowplay. Or even better add it as a toggle in GFE Now to resolve issues with the depreciated Utube 3d upload. [quote="Zloth"] First you need to get FFMPEG. The place to get it is here: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ Unfortunately, the advertisements on that website include some that try to look like the download but are really just advertisements. The actual download is via the blue 'download build' button which is currently pointed at this: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-3.4.1-win64-static.zip Unzip that and put it somewhere. It doesn't really matter where but you do need to remember where it is. Now make a text file on your desktop, in your videos folder, or wherever it is that you want to work with video files. The text file will have just one line in it: "D:\Program Files\FFMpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -codec: copy -metadata:s:v:0 stereo_mode=1 output.mkv Except you need to change the first part of it that's in quotes. That needs to be the location where you copied FFMPEG. I put mine in "D:\Program Files\FFMpeg" so that's where my file is pointed. Finally, rename the file to Conv.bat. When Windows warns you about changing the extension, tell it that you do want the extension changed. Now, to convert a video, simply drag the video file right on top of the Conv.bat file. The bat file will run on your video and make a new one called output.mkv. You can upload output.mkv and YouTube will (a few minutes [u]after[/u] it "finishes" processing) recognize it as 3D and act like my link above. [/quote] Awesome investigative work Zloth you have solved a great deal of my frustration for creating gaming content. I wish we had a mod around here that would sticky important information like this. *Hint Hint*

Glad I could help with something!

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views ... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

=D Also just to clarify, you must set Privacy to allow desktop recording for this to work, as you suspected. This was the step I had been missing.
