I left the defaults: all using the LAV filters with DXVA, installed MP3D plugin, and guess what..... it actually worked (with the slight complication of totally crashing MP when I stopped playback) Unfortunately, playback both within MPC-HC and in MP 1.3 alpha was not quite smooth, dropping frames here and there, indicating that DXVA was turned off. However playback within Stereoscopic player 1.8.1 is smooth as silk, so the 3dtv.at renderer must be needed to keep DXVA activated Another thing that did not work in MP 1.3 alpha, was it's native bluray support did not allow the playback of 3d, nor did the MP3D plugin help there.Strange that it works (somewhat) in MP1.3alpha and not at all in 1.2.3Perhaps what is needed is to load stereoscopic player as an external player for 3d files, IF it can be controlled within MP (remote control) This page may help to explian decoder issues, but it seems like old info and they seem to have their own decoders now<a href="http://3dtv.at/Products/Player/DVDPlayback_en.aspx" target="_blank">http://3dtv.at/Products/Player/DVDPlayback_en.aspx</a> ----------------------30 mins later-------------- ok, I updated stereoscopic player to 1.8.1 on my HTPC and set the h264 renderer in MP 1.2.3 to ATI MPEG Video Decoder (direct hardware decoding from the videocard), reinstalled MP3D and guess what... it works (with a few crashes if I forget to turn the 3d off) Playback is smooth, so definately using DXVA somewhere. Playback is as smooth as stereoscopic player so.... success at last Let's see if setting h264 codec to ATI HW playback messes up playback elsewhere in MP <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> ---------- later ----------- So far all is well I tried updating stereoscopic player from the stable 1.8.1 version to the newer 1.9.1 with reprogrammed interface. Seems the new version still needs some work as 1.9.1 does not play as smoothly as 1.8.1, even when played in stereoscopic player itself.I recommend staying with 1.8.1, if anyone is curious</blockquote>
