Dear community, I'm thinking about updating hardware (current setup in signature) in near future and playing of 3D mvc in mkv container is important. I'd like to ask, do you not recommend to build diy htpc but rather buy Intel nuc? 4K support is not relevant yet but perhaps I should consider that also.
Reason for me to go diy route is that I'd like to choose chase for appeareance reasons (I'm in love with the hd-plex chases) and that there's a possibility to add blu-ray drivers, cards etc. And diy project are fun to do.
I would have to buy just motherboard, cpu and memory, all other parts I have already.
for price comparison, I could get Intel NUC NUC6i3SYH for 332 € (+memory) or NUC6i5SYK 448€ (+memory) or
235€/330€

Guys, check out the new 'Ghostbusters' movie. Liked it better than I thought I would (as I'm a fan of the original). Excellent 3D, w/plenty of in-your-face ghostly pop-outs! Good deal of the 3D is into the black bars of this scope movie (like w/'Pixels'). BTW, this is a right-eye first BD (added to list in post #1).

I am looking for a good kodi box for 3d and 4k movies I saw this while looking what do you guys think?

Watched this over the weekend.My son liked it, I agree the 3d was decent although I liked the original better myself. I thought this lacked a lot of storyline and of course my son didn't understand the jokes because he never saw the original one. I'm not sure what you mean by the 3d is in the black bars? I always remove the black bars from my movies while watching.

That's quite a clever way of utilizing 3D in a 2.35:1 ratio on a 16:9 display.

I think what you really mean is its coming out of the screen, I'm betting if you stretched it vertically to eliminate black bars, you would still see the same effect.

If you are using a cinemascope lens, then you are only blocking the black bars.

I'm not but it really isn't a big deal like people make it out to be. Some movies a little worse than others but doesn't bother me and my son doesn't notice.

How would you get the same effect if you're literally removing the extra image laid on top of the bars?
You stretch vertically? I hate with an absolute passion cropping an image but distorting the whole picture to remove black bars that a TV has around the outside anyway completely blows my mind!
Does anyone know what other 3D 2.35:1 movies have this effect?
