Software for 3D Blu-ray playback?
  1 / 2    
My PC's internal Blu-ray drive is in the mail to me. I was wondering what would be the best software for 3D playback on my PC? I see there's a thread for Cyberlink software, but what are my choices? Can Windows 7 Media Player handle this?

Powerdvd or TMT. Windows doesn't play BD's without either of the two.

Thanks. What's TMT though, and what's generally the best program to use?

Okay, I did some Googling and saw that TMT is ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theater 3 software. For 3D Blu-ray playback, can anyone reccomend either PowerDVD 10 or TMT3 over the other?

Power DVD is the way to go. Apparently TMT 3 has some compatibility issues.

I own the 3D plugin for TMT and have no issues at all. Even the first time I saw an acceptable 2D to 3D realtime conversion that didn't cause headache in minutes. Side-by-side and checkerboard is also supported.

And as far as I know Power DVD can't play DVD/Blu-ray images from hardrive while TMT can (and many formats including TS).

I vote TMT. It's what I use (I have Xonar and PDVD doesn't even support it!).

With TMT you also get Blu-ray and HD DVD folder playback from HDD along with plain HD DVD support. PDVD lacks both.

TMT had a few compatibility issues when it launched 3D (at that time PDVD didn't support 3D at all). The problems are now fixed.
