3D Main Movie Backup plays back in 2D only

[enduser9999]

Put the reduced iso in power dvd, hit the video button in power dvd, click on the drive you put the movie in,then click on the BDMV, then click on the stream file, look at the file on top it should say ssif this is the folder now to see if anything is in the ssfi folder you now hold your left mouse button down and dont let it up and put the mouse pointer on the ssfi file folder does the number 1 come up in between what looks like a single frame of film?
If so your movie has the 3d files in it if no number 1 comes up then you only have a empty ssfi folder and it won't play in 3d.What 3d tv are you using? you are using hdmi to the tv from the 3d blu ray movie player right?

I'm having trouble trying to duplicate what you describe with power dvd. I don't see a video button in PD version 12. My 3D tv is the LG 50PM6700, Blu-ray player is the LG BP620, using high-speed HDMI cable with internet between tv and blu-ray player, both have the latest firmwares installed.

If blu-ray contain branched playlists or alternated mains/endings (for example Disney films), the main movie copy only play 2D.
Sorry for my bad english.

Your burn speed seems to high.Burn at half the rated disk speed for best results change this is fabs settings.When burn speed is slower more players will be able to read the burnt disk better because it burns the pits deeper in the dvd.

Fab makes log files and stores them in 2 folders in the program files not the running log you see when you are using the program.

The log files are in the place were you put the fab program during installation of the program.By default if you let the fab installer pick a place on your hard drive it will put it in documents so click the windows logo on your computers display page in the lower left side of the screen then click on documents then click on dvdfab when opened click on log when opened theirs the burn files in one file and the internal files in the other.If you never deleted these before every dvd you made with fab will be in the internal files list the burn file will contain only the burned files made with fab burner the vso engine has its own log.In the internal log the last dvd made is on the bottom of the list in the burn file the last burn i believe is on the top of the list cut and past the logs to a post for the last dvd made we don't need that long list just the part containing the dvd you have trouble with.You can delete both lists when they get to long.

Enduser9999:
1. Did you download the free virtual drive program from fabs front page?
2. Did you load the reduced 25 gig file into virtual drive and use it as source to burn the movie? This may solve your problem of no 3d on your player.

3. What software program did you use on the computer to play the disk in 3d?

The more info. you give us the better. Log files tell a lot of info.and you really should learn to include them whenever you have a problem with fab.

Overview of Virtual Drive

DVDFab Virtual Drive is a virtual emulator for both DVD and Blu-ray. It can emulate up to 18 drives and mount DVD/Blu-ray ISO image files created by DVDFab and other programs, and .miniso file created by DVDFab Blu-ray Copy.
For example, if you want to play a Blu-ray ISO image file backup on your computer, you need to mount it with DVDFab Virtual Drive, then, play it with PowerDVD.
It has some settings for your using habit and convenience, and enables you to go to its forum for more information just by one click.

1. Yes I did.
2. No I did not use it that way.
3. Power DVD 12

The logs seem to get wiped out when DVDFab is closed. When I go find then they are not there. If I open DVDFab is see new logs created but they contain no burn information.

I decided to go back and check all the other discs that I had burned using the default VSO burning engine, then DVDFab burning engine, both folder, and iso files and they all play in 3D on the computer, but not on the TV.

I still have the compressed disc image on the HD, I will burn another copy using the virtual drive.

[enduser9999]

isnt there an option on the players remote to force it to into 3d mode?

Yes there is. I played with that but even with the 3D settings the video shown is not 3D.

The copy plays in 3D on the computer without any problems but when I play it on the LG 3D Blu-ray player on the 3D TV it will only play back in 2D. Bummer

Problem solved!

The step I was missing was the "scroll down to write data" under Blu-ray copy after the file or iso was compressed. I kept selecting main movie under Blu-ray copy instead of the Write Data.

This part of the process was very confusing because you then get to pick the Source as your compressed saved file or iso then write it back to your Target BD25 disc. This did the trick.

Thank you Glenns for your detailed information, and steps much appreciated.

...
10. After movie is saved, go to and select Source:> C:\2Temp\Main Movie\RED_BIRD_3D_WW
11. Target: C:\3Temp
12. Disc Size: BD25 1080p/i size is reduced from 42.955 GB to 22.461 GB

Hi,enduser9999
Whether to mount the dvdfab.miniso file to DVDFab Virtual Drive and then use it as source?
