REQ 3D Vision Player for 64 bit codecs
Hi everyone,
i use avisynth a lot and lately along with the 64 bit version that is overall faster. However, i dislike the fact, that the 3d vision player cannot play input provided by the 64 bit version of avisynth. To my knowledge, the player only accepts input from 32 bit direct show codecs, even if it runs on a 64bit OS. I have the same issue with 32 bit Media Player Classic that ships with the K-Lite codec pack. However, the 64 bit version of MPC works flawless with Avisynth 64 as expected.

Id like to ask the Nvidia developers to provide a pure 64 bit version of their 3D Vision Player as well. Most 64 bit codecs are faster than their 32 bit equivalent so all people with 64 bit would benefit.

That would be nice, I suppose, but there are other things I would like to see more. Being able to start with 3D going instead of having to switch to 2D then back to 3D again, for example. Honestly, though, I can't remember codec speed ever being an issue with playback. Encoding yes, but playback??

I have stuttering on some level 5.1 h264 streams due to the immense data rate and this is exactly the place where 64 bit will probably make a difference. The performance gain for the average user may be small, but it is there nevertheless. If you use avisynth for real time playback, the performance increase is even greater as many avisynth operations benefit from 64 bit.

A funny side note is that Mplayer on Gentoo Linux can play the aforementioned streams without stuttering but Linux on the other hand does not support 3d playback ... Brave new World!

Yes, I also have problems with the player in Win7 64bit. For example, the photo player shows only side-by-side, Other issuess I have: .avi files do not play (where from can I get a codec for it), the video movies open in Windows Media Player instead in Nvidia players (I have the silverlight installed, but it says it works only in IE 32bit), etc. Any suggestions?

Try the K-Lite codec pack, it works quite well. My aim however, is to ask Nvidia to publish a 64 bit version of their player. Th 64 bit port of K-Lite is rather useless, as only the 32 bit codecs are used by the 32 bit Nvidia 3d Vision Player...

Since the nVidia player is nothing but a re-branding, you'd have better luck asking the guys at http://3dtv.at/ to make a 64-bit product.

Tried the k-lite 32bit in win7 64 bit to make work the 3d vision player, and it works. There are zillions of options and set-up, too much for a layman, but in the end it works.
Thx for a good suggestion.
