I have a 50GB 3D bluray iso from the Gravity with menu. If i try to play it from ZDMC i can play only the 2D movie. When i play it from Media Center, i only plays the main movie in 3D but in both situation i don't see a menu.

The ZDMC or Kodi doesn't support BD Menu unless you use VidOn XBMC, but doesn't work well..
Too much bugs

Anyway, we'll keep checking about Makemkv

That file was just split using MKVToolNix/mkvmerge. The original MVC MKV would have been generated using makemkv.

It takes longer and command line:
eac3to -> MVCCombine -> MKVToolNix

First, use eac3to to demux the tracks from the Blu-Ray, then you need to use MVCCombine.exe to merge the left and right eye together ('MVCCombine.exe -l <left_eye.h264> -r <right_eye.h264> -o combineMVC.h264'). After that, use MKVToolNix to put everything in a MKV.

Here's the 'Ruin' sample, ripped w/MakeMKV, and put though MKVMerge (for grabbing a segment for the A/V wiki):

(2017-01-04, 05:54)rockhard Wrote: Some more bugs(version 1.2.7) coming your way Mirror88

1. I now have the dreaded 720p bug. Not sure what causes this. Could be because I turned on the daydream(screensaver) feature as another user noted .For this I followed the steps outlined in this post(http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=291943&pid=2481589#pid2481589). Screensaver itself works just fine. Also it didn't started happening right away. About 2-3 days later. Everytime I open a movie I now have to confirm changed resolution

2.The unit now randomly goes into standby when watching a movie. There's no pattern to it. There's no fixed time for this and there are times it won't go into standby. This happens only when watching a movie and not when it's idle.

Also regarding resume of playback, I've found a pattern. If you've selected Repeat All or Off in native player settings and watch 10 movies all for less than a minute than it'll resume all of them. However if you watch a movie for say one hour than stop that movie and then watch another movie for long time (~30 minutes) and then come back to the previous movie the bookmark is gone and it starts from the beginning. So watching a movie for some time (~30 minutes) deletes all previous bookmarks except the one you're watching currently. Selecting Repeat one just stops resuming for all movies

Despite all these bugs I still have hopes for Zidoo. Primarily because they're actually responding to the feedback and trying to rectify them. Hopefully by version 1.2.9 they'll have all the major bugs rectified
