3d is sweet

CyberLink PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D
CyberLink PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D

Pros: Works great with all 2d but flv 3d is sweet load in 1 min or less it's Cyberlink

Cons: a reguler (2D) BD can not use TT-3d - so it is not transformed to 3D. For BD the only way is to have a "BD-3D" and go from 2d to 3d with dvd's or other media can at times freeze your pc, as it jumps from 2d to 3d 3 or 103 time before it plays.

Overall Review: cyberlink should be a little more specific about their advertising as should arcsoft. They should state that specifically that bluray 3d is for 3d bd titles, even if in a side note on their product page. I kept thinking it was for 3d upscaling of regular bd titles. Because I have am not going to be the only one with this complaint.
