How to mount and play 3D Blu-Ray ISO's on HTPC?

**broona** · 24th August 2011

Getting a new 3D TV this week, and would like to try out some 3D films.

Got a few full 3D BD rips in ISO format, and just wondered what the easiest/best way to mount and watch them on the TV?

I'll be using a GTX460 connected via HDMI, any advice please?

Install xbmc and play them through that its no different to any other iso or mkv.

XBMC would be my preference but lighter media players like VLC should handle it no problem too!

Thanks for the replies. Already got the HTPC nicely set up with 7MC and MediaBrowser, don't like XBMC, so hopefully it'll work with the setup I've got, just assumed I'd need some extra software to process the 3D side of things.

Samsung PS51D6900, 51" plasma, should be nice!

Installed PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D, plays them all perfectly.

Tried MPC-HC (my stalwart player), and it would only play one video stream, so PowerDVD seemed the logical choice.

have you tried total media theatre 5? Thats supposed to play 3d as well?

Through media browser how are you mounting the iso files or does it do it automatically?

All the 3D content I've acquired is just sbs stuff and will play on anything that supports appropriate codec, its the tv that converts it anyway no need for any fancy 3D supporting programs.

Not tried TMT5 yet, it needs sim3d too, and every copy i've found is riddled with trojans!

MediaBrowser automatically mounts standard ISO's, not tried it with BDR's yet, just been playing with PowerDVD as a standalone.
