Warner, not to add any confusion but, here are some facts regarding my equipment and setup used here:
PowerDVD plays any 3D format and container. SBS, TAB, Frame Packed MVC, ISO, MKV, etc. I am never prompted by a player or my display to select a mode or anything else. All the switching is automated and just happens. After pressing 'play aka enter' or 'play using' on a title (whether launched from KODI or manually in Windows Explorer) 3D playback begins. My display prompts me to turn on my glasses, nothing more.
MPC-BE/HC behaves exactly the same way with or without madVR used as the renderer. Again, any format or container. The proper settings in madVR and MPC must be set of course. The OP confirms these settings are indeed set.
KODI internal VideoPlayer does not handle Frame Packed MVC. It will play but only in 2D. It does handle SBS/TAB just as other players described above with no manual intervention of any kind other than a display prompt to turn on the glasses.
I think the OP's problem is a limited behavior in his PJ but some of his input suggests a harmony with KODI VideoPlayer should carry over to MPC-BE/HC. Knowing the elimination of madVR and trying the file solo in Explorer using MPC results in the same problem (two images instead of overlapped) leads me to believe settings in MPC are wrong, his file is a bad rip (OP wasn't clear results using test file), or his PJ is limited for some unknown reason. Thanks for your input. Any other suggestions you can think of?
