    Anybody figure out a solution to view these with the 3D glasses on the M17?

    I've tried PowerDVD 13 and it says no stereo 3D support when i click the 3D button

    There was a huge limitation in the nvidia 3d player..
    I thought it would only allow u small bits of films, like 10 minutes man, or something stupid

    If i remember well, it's 3dtv who is limited for a few time as it need a license but Nvidia player has no limit.
    It will be weird from Nvidia to not purpose for free a software using their nvidia stereoscopic glasses with time limitation.^^

    To experience .mkv 3D files with the amazing 3D effect, you can use NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Player and what you have to solve is the video format incompatibility. Read this article to get the solution for wonderful 3D enjoyment on NVIDIA 3D Vision.
