DSPlayer doesn't support ISO but does support BDMV. Although, I think your problems with BDMV have something to do with LAV Video and madVR. Support for 3D BDMV has not yet been added (I think I made a typo stating it was supported). 3D ISO is not supported by madVR, either.

If you want to play your 3D ISO files with madVR, wait for official support or use MakeMKV to convert the file to an MKV. A link to MakeMKV is found at the end of this section. It will convert the ISO into an MKV container in an hour or less. You might be able to convert your BDMV files as well, but it could be possible DSPlayer will support these files when madVR does. The ISOs, of course, will never be supported.

I have run one test with an uncompressed 3D Blu-ray ISO by converting it into an MKV with MakeMKV. DSPlayer played it fine.

Thank you for your reply. So If I convert my 3D.iso files to .mkv will they actually play as a 3D movie or 2D? Also would I be comprimising on video and audio quality? How do I get DSPlayer to play.bdmv files?

On the off note , I have a Darbee Darblet connected to my chain just before the projector on a 120" screen. Is it a pointless exercise using DS Player and MadVR if I have a video processor like Darbee Darblet 5000s?

Many thanks

MakeMKV just changes the container of the video stream -- it does not do anything to the audio or the video. MKV and Blu-ray discs (the actual disc) are the only 3D formats working with madVR at the moment. In the future, more formats may be supported. So the quality will be identical.

The Darbee and madVR would compete with each other if you use image sharpening (which is called upscaling refinement and image enhancements in madVR). I would use one or the other to sharpen the image, but not both. Both are a form of post-process image sharpening and should not be confused with chroma upscaling or image upscaling, which must be done by madVR with or without Darbee. madVR's image sharpening is much harder to adjust for various content compared to Darbee. I'm not sure which would produce the superior result.

It is not a pointless exercise to use madVR. It will produce better image quality than other media players; especially, Kodi DVDPlayer. But the Darbee can make any media player look good. madVR can be especially good with 3D Blu-ray compared to other players.

Thank you for your reply. Is there any benefit to using DSPlayer in terms of audio (bitstream)? Also if you were me would you stick to the new Jarvis official release and Darbee or do I go with the MadVR setup and use Darbee with it?

The thing is I don't know which settings to choose. In your user manual you cover every single setting and I am not sure which ones I should select or which to leave alone.. would appreciate your advice.

Many thanks
